On the outside, it make just look like a couple of sticks of spaghetti, some string and a delicious, fluffy treat attached to the top. However, the Marshmallow Challenge has been used in several of our schools to help show children – and staff – the importance of working together and being creative.
The challenge is pretty straightforward: Teams have 18 minutes to build the tallest free-standing structure using just some sticks of spaghetti, tape, string and having one marshmallow. resting on top.
Check out below how a few of our schools fared in tackling the Marshmallow Challenge. For more information about the challenge, visit MarshmallowChallenge.com.
