On Friday, September 29th
we took the Bucket Towers Engineering Challenge!
Challenge: To build a structure using only straws, string and tape. The structure must have a suspended bucket that is
free-swinging and holds weight.
After the 10 minute building time was up, we walked around the building to view other Bucket Towers. Then, I gave the children extra time to revise their models and see if they could complete the challenge. Three of our groups were able to build structures that held pennies!
Here are some pictures from the Bucket Towers Engineering Challenge!
I saw amazing creativity, perseverance, teamwork and innovation!
