Marshmallow Challenge

What is Marshmallow Challenge?
We were divided into teams of five and within eighteen minutes, the team must build the tallest free standing structure using 20 sticks of spaghetti, one yard tape, one yard string and one marshmallow. And the marshmallow needs to be on top.

We build a small foundation first but unfortunately it was broken so we change it immediately. We don't have leader in a group and we don't draw or sketch on what will we be our structure. We just start doing it by listening to each other and helped without being asked.

Through team collaboration, we finished doing our marshmallow spaghetti structure. I have a great team (Belle Ayop, Anne Capinpin, Tebby Estrellie, and Mira).


The lesson we've learned from the activity, we cannot just rush things without organizing how the work will be done and building prototype is essential.

Honestly, it's amazing fun game and activity. We don't give up until it's free standing structure. Even it's not too tall, I can proudly say that it stand long enough before we finished our class.
