Students were asked to build the tallest structure that could hold a marshmallow at the top. They were given 18 minutes, a meter of string, a meter of tape, 20 spaghetti sticks and a marshmallow. Team 4 from period 4 had the tallest structure at 62 cm. You can see their structure in the top middle row.
Students learned a lot about resilience in this project. Most structures fell over at the end of the time when they placed the marshmallow on top of it. We will be learning all about iterations this year through prototyping.
