What is the challenge?
In this challenge, students will use a specific amount of pencils and a few other materials to build a tower. Here’s the hitch: Something on the tower has to twirl and have a specific purpose for the twirling. The groups will have to decide how and what will be twirling and a creative reason for it! You will be amazed at the creativity students display with the twirling apparatus! Use those shiny new pencils at the beginning of the school year or alternative materials at any time of year.
