The challenge today was to build a freestanding building out of pipe cleaners. They had to learn to use teamwork and building constraints in the project. At first they realized that they had to get each team member’s help in coming up with a design. They started building and realized that they had to rethink their original plan several time. As time went on, they were limited to using only 1 hand each (this represented a budget cut) and not being able to talk (this represented working in a country where they couldn’t talk to their workers). After many failures, we did get some tall buildings! Way to go engineers!
