Build a tower!

In the following exercise you will build a tower. The challenge is to build the tallest free-standing tower with limited resources. You can also play this as a team. Its fun, and a deeper learning will be revealed at he end.

1. Prepare some ingredients:

   * 1 Marshmallow (eat the rest of the bag), 
   * 20 spaghetti, 
   * 1 meter of string (wool is good), 
   * 1 meter of sticky tape (single side sticky, 
    min 10mm wide,
    masking tape (easy to tear). 
    Regular Scotch tape is good, too.
   

2. Prepare some tools: 1 pair of scissors, 1 measuring tape
3. Your challenge: use these ingredients to build the tallest free-standing tower. You can play this as a team

4. The rules:

   • Do not suspend the tower from a taller structure („freestanding“).
   • Entire (!) Marshmallow must be on top of the structure.
   • Use all or parts of the ingredients, either as a whole or cut-up.
   • You have 18 minutes to build!
5. Play! Its most fun in a competition.
6. After 18 minutes, measure the size of your structure (if it is still standing!).
