Paper Tower









During this week's class after we present our drunk adventure video that we have made last week, we were assigned another group consist of 4 including myself and were asked to make a tower only by using 10 pieces of paper.

After a 30 minutes of making the tower, my team actually finished it and our tower was standing tall yet very fragile. A little touch or even a small blow of wind could topple it down. Since me and i teammates are quite out of idea on how to make a tower using only 10 pieces of paper and more than 1 meter tall. When everybody are done we were asked to  answer questions on our mission sheet.

1. Is there a way you could have gotten more height on your tower?
Yes i think there's a way to get more height maybe by making a thick platform in between the paper stack

2. Was the base of your tower strong enough to support the height?
No.. our tower base wasn't strong enough that's why our tower is really fragile

3. What different ways could you have built your tower?
There are a lot actually. At first we were going to make jenga pieces out of the paper but glad we didnt do that since the other groups did it and it didnt end too well for them.

4. Did you use the materials creatively? What else could you have done?
Actually no.. since my team and i were clueless on how to make it so we just made up and move along with what currently works. We actually could make a support on each of the stacks of paper rolls but we didnt think of that earlier

5. How was your teamwork? What could you have done differently?
Our teamwork is good since we manage to did everything together and help each other connecting the pieces. I think we could cut down the sice of paper so it wasnt too wobbly,

6. What worked well and what didnt?
Our initial plan wasnt working very well since it wouldnt build the height needed so we change plans along the way. The jenga stack also didnt work out so we just stack our long pieces of paper together and somehow made it stand..
