Description
Are you looking for an STEM activity that has easy prep, easy materials, and will produce amazing problem solving for your students? This challenge will do all that! A minimum of materials is used with a fun, problem-solving dilemma that will have your students scratching their heads as they attempt this project!

What is the challenge?
In this challenge, students will design and build a tower that has some specific rules about two items- cups! The cups have constraints about their height and how close they can be to one another. One of the main building materials is straws and there are a few other items. This challenge is purely a problem-solving one with no particular scenario for the construction task. It’s just a fun one! This would make a perfect challenge for STEM Friday, a reward for your class, an administrator visit to your classroom, or a task to be left with a sub!
