Basketball Tower STEM Challenge

BASKETBALL TOWER REFLECTION

What was the hardest part of this challenge for you? Why?

The hardest part of the challenge for me was trying to tape the pillars to the news paper platform. This was because they did not fit together evenly.

What worked really well in this challenge for you ? Why?

What worked really well for me was being able to make the tower balanced because the bottom and the top were the same size.

What value did you mostly have to show in this challenge and why?

The values I had to show the most were connect/create because some of my partners I didn't know very well. I kind of struggled  to create the news paper rolls because they had to be tight.

What question do you now have because of this challenge?

What would happen if we were given different materials?
