Marshmellows and Spaghetti

The Marshmellow and Spaghetti Challenge was a team building exercise where the team builds the tallest tower. The groups are given 20 pieces of spaghetti, string and a large square marshmellow. Our group made something like a cube that didn’t stand at all.

Was there a leader in your group? Who was it and who decided who the leader would be?
I think I accidently became the leader. I was confident because I’ve done something like these kind of challenges before.

If you had no leader, do you think having designated someone a leader would have helped?

How helpful was everyone on your team in the process of building the tallest structure? Did anyone appear to be an expert?
Everyone had good ideas, especially when the original idea didn’t work.

Did any team members tune out the activity–out of frustration with other members or for some other reason? What could you have done to keep all members of the group fully engaged?
Did you feel everyone’s ideas were well received during the activity?

I think so.

How did you feel as the time limit was approaching? Did pressure increase? If yes, was that helpful or not?
I’m use to working on a time limit like these so I wasn’t bothered

In retrospect, what could you have done differently throughout this process?
Use two pieces of spaghetti instead of one for the base.
