STEM Project - 100th Day Skyscraper Challenge

I

Today the children were challenged to build the tallest structure using only 100 pieces of dry spaghetti, 100 marshmallows, 100 cm of tape and 100 cm of string.  AND, they only had 100 minutes.  The children planned first, then created an initial prototype.  Next, they build their final prototype for us to measure. The tallest structure built in our classroom was 81 cm!  The children had a great time working together to solve this problem!  Please see our pictures below.
