Rules
-You will need to make 4 even groups of students. Sorry adults, this one is NOT for you.
-There will be TWO rounds of competition. Please arrive as soon as possible to ensure we have enough time for two rounds of competion.
-The first two groups of students will each have 3 minutes to make the tallest free standing structure using ONLY the 100 solo cups provided.
-The second two groups will observe and plan during round one. Once round one is complete, then the second two groups will build while the first two groups observe.
-You are not allowed to use chairs, benches, or other height enhancing implements to aid you.
-At the end of 3 minutes AN ADULT or WEB leader must confirm the height of your tower. If you knock over the tower before AN ADULT confirms, you will NOT get points for your tower.
-Points awarded will be 10 points for the number of levels in your structure. Visual examples given below
-After the points have been counted, each group will stack their cups into 4 piles of 25.
-Please check the schedule (BELOW) for your competition times
-Feel free to pre-plan with your CREW and come up with strategies to increase your chance of success.
