TECHNOLOGY CHALLENGE
We've been learning to use team work and work with each other cooperatively. Today we used it to creatively problem solve. We talked about compromising, negotiating, building on each others' ideas and talking, to be able to achieve a result.
Our Challenge!
To build the tallest spaghetti and marshmellow tower that stands on its own for 1 minute. There were teams of 3 and some rules. Take a look at our efforts!

| The winning team with a tower of 41cm high! |
What we found challenging:
- making it stand
- not receiving any help
- the time pressure affecting team work
- sticky fingers!
- pushing the fragile spaghetti sticks into the marshmellows without them breaking
- trying again if our first idea didn't work
- the main base collapsing
- not having enough support in the centre
- people breaking things
- bumping someone holding something and it falling or breaking
- feeling guilty if you were the one in your team who broke it
- being the only one trying and some people mucking around
- feeling tense because of the fast pace and time limit
- lots of big hands creating a little building
It was awesome because we got to eat the marshmellows at the end.
