As a way to get to know each other we started the year off by doing lots of different technology challenges.
In our groups of three we were each given 10 straws, 4 paperclips, 1m of cellotape, an ice-block stick and a marble. Our challenge was to build a self-supporting tower using only these materials. We were given bonus points if we could get our marble to balance on the top of our towers!
Very few of us succeeded with the marble part of the challenge but we did all manage to build a tower of some kind or another. The key to our success = TEAM WORK!!
