Round 2 of Spaghetti Towers happened last week with a new set of 8th graders in Careers class.

The object: Use communication and teamwork to build the tallest freestanding tower out of spaghetti noodles, marshmallows, and tape. The students got 5 minutes of planning time and 10 minutes to construct their towers. This semester's winners are (pictured left to right) Braden Prafke, Anthony Napier-Cubias, Cole Nawrocki, and Jordan Thompson.  In the first attached picture they are standing with their masterpiece.  They built a tower that was 37.25 inches tall!
