Aidan and I went to a kids conference where we practiced our Destination Imagination structure building skills. Our challenge was to build a structure using any or all of the materials available: masking tape, note cards (4), paper (6 ), straws (4) and stir sticks (4). We then measured our structure against how much weight it could hold.
Aidan came up with this design of a triangular shape braced by stir sticks and straws. It held a whopping 45 pounds!!!
