Marshmallow Building Challenge

Today Ms Elder gave us a team building challenge! We got to work with a team to build the tallest tower possible using 20 pieces of spaghetti, 1 meter of tape and 1 meter of string. On top of our tower, we needed to balance a mini marshmallow!

This activity was challenging because we only had 15 minutes to do it! There is a video on Google Classroom that shows the task.
