Marshmallow Challenge in Elfrida

Elfrida Library — Thu, 29 Jun 2017 23:55:17 +0000

This week adults and kids participated in a marshmallow challenge in Elfrida.

This creativity exercise has been done nationwide with school children, as well as Fortune 500 business executives. The challenge is to make a self-supported tower that is as tall as possible using the following supplied materials: 20 sticks of spaghetti, one yard of tape, one yard of string, and one marshmallow.

Three teams took part, and all of them had a standing tower at the end! That is most unusual. The winning tower was 21″ tall.
