Spaghetti Tower Adventure

Yesterday, we researched and learned all about the different types of engineering. From industrial engineering to food engineering. Each student was given one field to research. After discussing each type of engineering, we became civil engineers. Each team of engineers was given one big marshmallow, one yard of yarn, one yard of tape and 25 pieces of spaghetti. Students were given 30 minutes to design and build the highest spaghetti tower possible. What an engineering challenge this was!  The tallest was 15 inches!
