Today’s Mission: Build a 30cm-high freestanding tower that could withstand wind, rain, and a tennis ball drop using:
- 10 sheets of paper 📄
- 2m of tape 🛠️
- 10 lollipop sticks 🍭
The Challenge
Each team designed and built a tower, testing its strength against:
- Tennis Ball Drop 🎾
- Hurricane Winds 💨 (via hairdryer)
- Rain & Damage 🌧️💥
Highlights
- Creative Designs: Triangular bases and rolled paper added strength.
- Unexpected Results: Fragile-looking towers stood firm, while sturdy ones sometimes toppled.
- Lessons Learned: Balance, structural shapes, and teamwork make all the difference.
We loved testing our creations and learned from their designs’ strengths and failures. A few tweaks, and we’d be ready to face a real storm!

Great work, team engineers! 👏
