STEM Learning Activities – Marshmallow Challenge
Build the tallest free-standing structure in just 18 minutes using no more than 20 sticks of spaghetti, 300mm of tape, 300mm of string, and one marshmallow. The marshmallow must be on top and cannot be deformed to hold it in place. The structure has to stand firmly on its own; it cannot be propped up, held, or suspended from the ceiling.
