HOW TO PLAY
1

Give each team an identical set of spaghetti sticks, marshmallows, tape, and string.

2

Set a fixed time limit for teams to design and build the tallest free-standing tower they can.

3

The structure must support at least one marshmallow balanced on its highest point without extra support.

4

Teams may adjust and reinforce their tower at any point until time expires.

5

When time is called, all building must stop immediately for measurement.

6

Measure each standing tower's height, and the tallest self-supporting structure wins.
