Marshmellows and Spaghetti Go Great Together
Posted by Chelms on behalf of Leroy
The Thang:
Six teams of four (as opposed to 4 teams of six) each received 20 sticks of spaghetti, 1 yard of masking tape, 1 yard of string, and 1 marshmallow. The goal was to build the tallest freestanding structure that would support a marshmallow on top. Teams had 18 minutes to complete the competition while the PAX, teachers and other volunteers provided coaching and encouragement during that time. On the line was bragging rights and the remaining bag of marshmallows to be split amongst the winning team.
As time expired, two of the six teams had built structures that supported a marshmallow. Measurements were not taken as the winning team stood out above the other, but it was estimated to be 30 inches in height. Ingenuity and teamwork were on display as this group of young men took on their second construction related project of the school year. Thanks to Chelms and the rest of the PAX for the support during this weeks challenge.
