Marshmallow Design Challenge

How tall is your marshmallow structure? With limited supplies (including uncooked spaghetti noodles, masking tape, and one marshmallow), teams endeavor to support the marshmallow atop the tallest spaghetti structure they can build. Interestingly, this lesson includes a debriefing aspect, which features a TED Talk on the challenge and the tendency of children to be more successful than college learners. Videos of both the TED Talk and the last few minutes of a high school challenge are included
