Hong Kong STEM Challenge #2

Our buddy class in Hong Kong challenged us to a STEM activity. STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.

We were given 3 challenges and they were:

Challenge #1 - Build a structure with a cube as the base.

Challenge #2 - Build the tallest structure that you can and your base can be any size.

Challenge #3 -  Build a structure with something that balances off the side of it.

Here are the materials we had access to:

We were allowed to choose what we thought would best help us achieve our goal:

6 x long sticks

1 x wooden 100s square

2 x pipe cleaners

2 x straws

1 x 1m ruler

11 x plastic cubes

1 x bunch of popsicle sticks

4 x wooden small flat pieces
