Tech Challenge

It has been a long time since our last Tech Challenge!  The task this time was to construct a table and two chairs, capable of holding the weight of a half-full drinkbottle.  We were divided up in groups of four and had five minutes to discuss our ideas and make a plan.  We had limited supplies; cardboard, sellotape, scissors and a craft knife.  With one hour to complete the task, there was no time for mucking around!  Almost all teams were successful when it came time to test the tables and chairs - awesome!

And because we're a competitive bunch, someone (Joshua) suggested we load each table up with dictionaries to see which one could take the most weight before collapsing.  Believe it or not, most of the tables could hold more than 15 dictionaries!  Impressive!
