Year 7 Technology classes put their designing skills into action during class. The design brief required them to work in groups to create a tower that could hold the weight of the mars bar for 1 minute. The materials they were issued included 1 mars bar, 1 metre of adhesive tape, 1 pair of scissors and 20 straws. The constraints included, students had 10 minutes to design, they could only use what materials they were provided with and the Mars bar had to be held by the tower for 1 minute and was timed by their teacher.

There were some very interesting designs and most groups solved the design brief successfully, the students had lots of fun in the process. Well done Year 7!
