Marshmallow Challenge

Over so many assignments I could've chose, I chose this one which is the marshmallow challenge. I chose this one to share because it was the first project my teammates and I did in the beginning of the year and we worked so hard on it to try and get an “A”. And to get that grade Mr. Lopez asked me to build a tower with my teammates and the biggest tower from the class will get a candy . The expectation was to build the largest tower using spaghetti sticks and tape, with a marshmallow on top of the tower. The goal of the assignment was to introduce our jobs which are Lead Scientist builds the project with the help of everyone, Project Manager begins discussion and keeps team members on task, Administrative assistance reads instructions to the team, Civil and Structural engineer checks all the sketches, Material Engineer gathers all the material, and Facilitating from all those jobs I was the project manager and the civil and
structural engineer.

First I was to gathered all the materials I was going to use for the tower.
I talked to my teammates and we came up with ideas of how it would be better for us to build the tower. We wanted the tower to be easy and functional we wanted it to look hard to make and we also wanted it to work. At last we decided that we were going to make the tower like the tower from paris and on top we were going to make a box with the spaghetti and the tape, and that box would hold the marshmallow. Not just that we also made some certain changes in the tower so it would last on holding the marshmallow. The biggest challenge was to make the tower because it had to hold the marshmellow and the tower was made out of spaghetti and tape it was a hard challenge but me and my team did it. We completed the work in Mr. Lopez classroom which we had to complete it in one day. I expected to do good on this project because every partner in my group did their job and were helping each other. After all it turned out to be a good challenge and my team and I got an
“A”.

I decided to choose this assignment because it shows how much effort my team and I put into it.My team helped a lot and so did I. It was a good assignment because we also got to know each other we talked to each other and helped each other. This assignment shows that working as a team and helping each other can accomplish many things in life. What I gained from this assignment is that you can build anything with any kind of things including food For example the tower. This could possibly help me out in the future by learning that you can make anything out of everything if you trust in it.
