STEM Challenges

On Monday afternoons, with half of our class at Kapa Haka, we often work in groups on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) challenges. Today groups were given only one instruction - "Demonstrate how strong spaghetti is". Some teams had great arguments and got super competitive and creative!

This group immediately built a bridge

Tighe and Leroy were hanging scissors in a single strand

Maddox decided that a pencil case was too heavy!

This group talked about overlapping to increase strength

Brodey and Max tried weaving spaghetti

Asher used tape too

And our end results...









The whole Jenga pack went on in the end for this winning team!
