We had a fun, but challenging, team activity that involved the cooperation, input, and creativity of each team member.
The point of the game was to construct a tower out of spaghetti noodles, marshmallows, and masking tape. Each team had a limit of $1000 to spend on supplies. Spaghetti noodles were $10 each, marshmallows were $5 each, and each strip of masking tape cost the team $20.
The structure was judged on it's height (100 points per inch) and it's structural durability. If the structure could hold the weight of a Ping-Pong ball the team would receive an additional 750 points.
The two teams of architects had 10 minutes to design and budget for their creation. When we said "Go" they had to withdraw their money from the bank (Keith) and purchase their supplies from the warehouse (Ray).
We gave the two teams approximately 30 minutes to finish construction. It turned out to be a blast for both teams!
