Marshmallow Challenge



     We approached the problem by first thinking of an idea so we would not mess up and ruin our materials. We had an idea of making a triangle base and on top of it, some pasta sticking up together. So, first we made the triangle base. Then, we built pasta above it and the marshmallow. My group only had really one failure. I accidentally broke one of the pasta strings in half. But, that wasn't really a problem because we didn't need it that much. We did struggle with taping everything really quickly before it broke or fell but we still succeeded being fast. We had a very good success. The time we had was 18 minutes to finish it and we were very first to finish it in 5 minutes. In my opinion, I think we did very well because we thought the best strategy was to be simple and it did work well. I don't think next time my group needs to work on anything at all except maybe we could of made it taller. This is because our group's objective was actually just to succeed the problem and not try so hard to be the tallest. We were focused on achieving the challenge and we did.

  1. Cool Structure, I liked how you made a strong base and added an extension.

    P.S. Why are there so many sticks sticking out of the marshmallow

  2. I really like how you described that you didn't have much difficulties and that your goal was just to finnish.
