The Marshmallow Challenge

Megan Happl —

The Year 5 & 6 Team get their engineering hats on!

Teams of 4/5 students were set a task to make the tallest freestanding structure they could using only the equipment provided.  Each team was given 20 spaghetti sticks, 1 metre of string, 1 metre of tape and a marshmallow. 

Teams had time to plan and then 30 minutes to build their freestanding structure.  

Do you think that you could beat the height that these teams reached?
