Our STEM classes have been taking on the Newspaper Tower Challenge. Students work in teams of three to build the tallest tower that will hold a popcorn packet on the top. They are only allowed one meter of tape and 6 pieces of Newspaper print. So far the team that is pictured has the tallest tower at 233 cm tall! Students have made lots of mistakes, and in the process have learned that the weakest points are always at the joints and the base. Mrs. Bufton and Mrs. Goates do a fantastic job at providing students the opportunity to use the engineering process to tackle difficult tasks.
