Name Game The system was that half the class would sit at their desks and the other half would rotate. The benefits was that you meet everyone in class and learn something about them. The problem with the original system, the people that were rotating didn’t meet the other people also rotating and the people sitting didn’t meet other people sitting. We modified the Name Game System with cutting the class in half with groups of people who were sitting can meet the people they didn’t and the people rotating can meet the other people rotating too.

Marshmallow Challenge The challenge of the “Marshmallow Challenge” was to make a standing structure using only raw angel hair noodles. To build the structure, you could only use raw noodles, string, tape, and one marshmallow standing on top of the tower. You only had 18 minutes to build the tower. The goal was to have the tallest standing tower by the end of the 18 minutes. Our idea process was to build a square on top of another square with four noodles for support of the square. We used tape to make them stick together for support. Side View Top View = marshmallow
