Block 3 explores structure.
By Anna Garthwaite | Posted: Tuesday May 16, 2017
Block 3 used the design of the Cardboard Cathedral to explore how to design and construct a strong structure but using fragile materials.
We looked at what attributes our structure would need to support a marshmallow at the top. We also explore what shapes make a strong structure. Our first attempt allowed for lots of exploring and some frustrations using a fragile material. Our second session allowed us to revisit and redefine our problem. We used some research on strong shapes to help direct our new attempts. Second time, there were more strong structures and a greater understanding of how to improve our structures. Great team work and collaborative learning also helped!
