Today's "Design-Build" challenge sees what we can do with the
following equipment:
-14 straws
-10 toothpicks
-3 paper cups
-3 feet of masking tape
-1 round marble
Goal: release your marble onto a freestanding contraption of your own design located at the edge of your desk. The goal is for your "structure" to direct your marble into a cup on the floor. The winner is the team who's cup is located furthest (horizontally) from the edge of the desk.
Rules: You may only use the materials specified above. Your marble must end up in a cup positioned on the floor in order to earn a result.
Feedback: Score is determined by distance from the table. Your result will be compared against your classmates to determine ranked result (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.)
Points! Earn one point for each of the following:
1) Your place in the competition (1st Place = 1 pt, 2nd Place = .9 pt, 3rd Place = .8 pt, etc.)
2) Document your effort on your online portfolio. Include pictures and a bullet point summary of the goal, rules and results you achieved.
3) Clean up! Include an image of at least one of your teammates cleaning up your workspace.
