Members were given a construction problem to solve at our final meeting of 2021.

 

Each group was given 5 pieces of spaghetti, some string, some adhesive tape, a marshmallow and some scissors.

Using only these materials they had 40 minutes to construct a free standing tower to support the marshmallow as high as possible above the table top.

Amazingly, all the finished towers measured somewhat over 70cm with only 3 or 4 cm separating the highest from the lowest.  The groups were separated, so no peeping/copying and the competition was fierce and a lot of fun.  

 

The last photo shows Lati with all the finished towers.
