Marshmallow and Spaghetti Challenge

The Millennium Kids Doing More with Less workshop was held on the 15th August, 2012 at The Zone in Kwinana.  The event was about waste, recycling and looking after the environment.  There were 6 primary schools involved.

The Challenge
Students were involved in a team challenge with marshmallows and raw spaghetti.  The challenge was to build the tallest tower with these items without it falling down. Students had 5 minutes to complete the challenge. The challenge taught students to cooperate and work as a team.

Tua and Aron were part of the winning team, building the tallest standing tower.  The teams learnt:

• teams had to concentrate
• teams had to work together as one
• teams learnt about the different roles in a team challenge - leader, implementer, encourager, time-keeper
