Cardboard X-Mas Tree Construction
Cardboard X-Mas Tree Construction
This project is a blast and one for students to really get engaged in some serious engineering thinking.
All instructions are provided below, but if you are like most of us you won't have the perfect cardboard for the measurements. Students will have to problem solve to scale the tree to a size that works for the materials they have available.
Enjoy!
