First design Challenge
GoalOur goal in this design challenge was to create a tower out of index cards, tape, and a pair of scissors able to withstand a very specific set of conditions. These conditions were:
1) the tower must be 12 inches tall 2) the tower must be able to withstand the force of a hairdryer 3) the tower must be able to support the weight of two gummy bears and a marshmallow 4) the scissors must be used in the tower's structure ResultsOur tower didn't quite work. Unfortunately, when we got to the part where we tested it with a hairdryer, it fell over. On the bright side, this mini-challenge allowed us to learn more about the design process and also how to work effectively in teams.
