Marshmallow Challenge

Sean Lee, Israel, Chase, and I competed against the class in a marshmallow challenge in which we had to create the highest free standing structure with the marshmallow on top. We had twenty pieces of raw pasta, a foot of tape, a marshmallow, and a piece of string. In the beginning, we made a long and drawn out structure that would have worked if we had more time and more supplies, would have worked, but in the end, we made two triangular bases taped together with pasta bundled at the top. We did not use the string at all, but we used all of the pasta and tape, but we didn't even use the tape. In the very end, our structure stood at about 25-26 centimeters tall, winning the challenge as the Rise Against Plastic team.
