Weekly Tech Challenge (#1)



Good Day Students and Parents,

I don't want to overload families during this time, however I understand that students may require extra stimulation. As such I will be posting weekly technology challenges every Monday. Students need not feel obligated or stressed to have them completed, however they should be fun and not require much in the way of supplies or time.

Thant being said this week’s challenge is a:

Marshmallow and Toothpick Tower

Supplies Needed: mini marshmallows, toothpicks, measuring tape (or ruler)

Challenge: How high can you build? Using 100 marshmallows build the tallest tower possible

Tips: Have student count out 100 marshmallows. Draw out a plan to get started.


You can download a Stem Journal PDF that can be printed for students to plan their design and reflect on their learning.
