Who can build the tallest tower?

Nicky Hebberd —

What a great way to end week 2 of the term. The children were put into groups, given spaghetti and marshmallows, and a brief.

The Pataitai Pod had only these two materials and 20 minutes to create the tallest freestanding tower that they could.


To be successful we had to: 

- Plan and work as a team

- Think about what would make the strongest structure 

- Persevere when it all came falling down


Our tallest tower was 68cm!! Can you do better than that?
