Get Stronger, Taller – A test of collaboration where your team designs the tallest marshmallow structure. The Marshmallow Challenge Card is a fun and educational activity that tests teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving skills. Teams are given limited resources, such as spaghetti, tape, and a marshmallow, with the challenge of building the tallest free-standing structure. This exercise encourages experimentation, quick thinking, and effective collaboration as teams work together to design and build their structure under time constraints.
How?
Teams are provided with materials such as dry spaghetti, tape, string, and a marshmallow. They have a set amount of time to design and build the tallest structure possible, with the marshmallow required to sit on top. The challenge encourages teams to brainstorm and test different ideas, learning from trial and error. Team members must collaborate closely, dividing tasks and sharing ideas to ensure the structure is stable and tall. The goal is not just height but also the ability to create a stable, free-standing structure using the available materials.
