Tech Challenge - Leaning Tower of Pasta

Todays tech challenge was about being creative with possibilities. We had a packet of spaghetti pasta and a packet of marshmallows. Our brief was to spend 5 minutes planning about structures and different ways of using our resources. We then had to construct a tower in 20 minutes that was as tall as we could possibly make it. Some groups considered the strength of the pasta really well and their plans reflected this. Two groups had an initial plan that did not work out but were able to adapt/modify their design as time ticked by. Congratulations to Lily, Sameer, Sofia and Sunshine who had constructed a tower standing 58cm tall. So who will shine tomorrow with more creative thinking?
