Join us for an exciting team challenge where you'll build a tall and creative tower using paper cups! After examining various palaces and their structural designs, your team will have the opportunity to experiment with different shapes and construction techniques. You'll have 10 minutes to build the tallest tower that can stand without falling. If your tower collapses, you can start again without time penalty. After the competition, we’ll reflect on strategies that worked and areas for improvement. Get ready for creativity and fun!

Let’s take a look at some different palaces, and discuss things we notice.
Now that we have seen how tall and wide palaces can be… • Let’s see if you can create one!
Your Challenge… • Your team will be building a tower out of paper cups. • You will have time to experiment first to see how you would like to build it, and what shape seems to work best for you. • Once we have had enough time to explore, we will have a competition. • We will see which team can build the tallest tower in 10 minutes, that can stay up the longest. • If your tower falls while you are building it, you may start again, since timing does not start until after the 10 minutes of building. • Make sure to be creative and have fun!
Let’s Reflect • Why do you think the winning tower went as high as it did? • What worked? • What didn’t work? • What would you change for next time?
