Christmas Tree Cup Challenge
Christmas Tree Cup Challenge
In December 2020, we held our first maker challenge since COVID: the Christmas Tree Cup Challenge! The object of the exercise was to create the tallest Christmas tree out of plastic, paper, and Styrofoam cups, all while demonstrating teamwork. Teams wore masks and used sanitised cups. There were prizes for the tallest tree and the team that exhibited the best teamwork. Needless to say, we had some great engineers! Good job, students!
