What’s up everyone, this time we are talking about a
challenge that I did last week. The challenge was quite fun, I think, because
it needed a good teamwork and the materials used for it were interesting. The
challenge was to make tower-like building with a little marshmallow standing at
the top with raw spaghetties as the building structure. The winner would be the people who made tallest building. The class was divided into groups, which every
group consisted of 4 people. My group were Winny, Beth, Nurul, and Me. There
were also other materials to build the structure, that were masking tape, scissor,
string, and small bag.
In the early process, we didn’t make any sketches, knowing
that there was a time limit to do the challenge. However, we planned the
building structure very well. We decided to make a strong base by placing the
bag at the bottom and stick the raw spaghetties on the top with the masking
tape. It was really hard to stick the spaghetti onto the bag, because it was
really fragile. It was also easy to fall down if it’s not balanced. It took quite a
long time to build the base structure, while we saw other groups' were like in
almost-done condition. However, we kept going and worked hard to do the base.
We helped each other to stick the spaghetties. For example, when I held the
spaghetties that need to be sticked, other people tore the masking tape and
stick onto it. After we stick the masking tape, we tied it with the string for
extra safety. After we made the base, we formed the spaghetties into a
triangular pyramid. We knew that this shape would make the structure stable. And
lastly, we put a piece of spaghetti and place the marshmallow on the top. Luckily,
it was quite balanced and my group was the winner of the challenge.
Mostly the other groups didn’t think about the base structure and their building fell down easily. I think the solution to win this challenge is to make a strong base first, so it will not fall down later on and not to do the building hastily.
