Marshmallow Challenge

A Simple Challenge, Profound Insights

The Marshmallow Challenge is a classic team-building exercise that packs a powerful punch. Your team will be tasked with building the tallest freestanding structure possible using only a handful of materials. The catch? The marshmallow must be placed on top of the structure.

Time is of the Essence:

Working under a time constraint, your team will need to collaborate quickly and efficiently to design and construct your tower. This fast-paced environment will reveal how well your team communicates, delegates tasks, and leverages each member’s strengths.

Beyond the Build:

While the challenge is simple, the lessons learned are profound. The Marshmallow Challenge highlights the importance of early collaboration, effective communication, and rapid prototyping. It also emphasizes the value of experimentation and learning from failures.

Unleash Your Inner Engineer:

This activity is a fun and engaging way to build teamwork, problem-solving, and creativity. It’s a perfect opportunity to step outside your comfort zone and embrace a challenge that requires quick thinking and adaptability.
