Marshmallow and spaghetti stick challenge


Task Description: in home class we got to do a marshmallow and spaghetti stick challenge and there were 6 groups. It was to make the tallest tower from 20 marshmallows and as many spaghetti sticks as we can. I was in a group with Francis, Sheldon and me. We did make a tall tower at the first attempt but it fell so we built it again and had a tie with the other team.
