How to run it

  1. Split into teams of 4โ€“5. Give each: 20 sticks of spaghetti, 1 yard of tape, 1 yard of string, 1 marshmallow.
  2. They have 18 minutes to build the tallest free-standing structure with the whole marshmallow on top.
  3. You time it and measure โ€” but never help during the build.
  4. Spend 10 minutes after on what the winning teams did differently.
