STEM Challenge: Build a Spaghetti Tower

Using only spaghetti and marshmallows, the groups were asked to build the tallest (stable!) tower possible. 

It was more challenging than it looked! The children had to consider their engineering skills and ask questions such as:
How wide of a base do we need?
What shape would make the best base?
How can we build height without breaking or toppling the tower?
How will we distribute the weight?

And many more! 

I think we have some future architects and engineers on our hands!
