TECH CHALLENGE



Today we completed our very first Technology Challenge.  Our task was to work in a team to build the tallest tower we could.  The criteria for the tower was:
  • must be able to be moved around.
  • must be able to stand up by itself.
  • use the correct equipment: scissors, 1 newspaper, 1 roll of sellotape and 5 straws.
  • be a good team member.
The first thing we had to do was plan our tower.  We talked about our ideas and drew a plan:


Then we had 30 minutes to build our towers.  Most teams managed to make their towers stand up, but there were one or two 'epic fails'.  Congratulations to Heath and Sophie, their tower was the tallest!  Well done you two!
