Spaghetti & Marshmallow activity

The activity basically consisted of making the highest tower in class using only 20 pieces of spaghetti, tape, a string of yarn and the marshmallow that happen to be placed at the top of the tower. At first it was hard to come up with a strategy of how to set it up but brainstorming with each other as it was taken more like a fun activity and not as "assignment" it made it easier to build the tower. In the video that we watch later on in class basically said that kids were have the highest success than adults which I thought kind of relates to all the stress that we put on ourselves to always succeed in class assignments. Not all assignments have to have creativity involved but if it was more encourage than just the standard format it wouldn't be to so hard  to succeed yet still learn from it. Overall the activity was a good way to learn to work as a group but it just kind of prove that exploring different possibilities and just being open minded can be helpful than on keep doing it as one certain way.
