Newspaper Structures

The assignment: Design a freestanding newspaper structure that will enclose your team within the allotted hour. Write directions so that a different group will be able to construct the design. Const ruct a different groups design based on their instructions. This time, however, there are fewer sheets of newspaper per person, and tape can only be used as an adhesive.

The results:
While we were designing:
Our finished design:
The design we constructed: >

What we discovered:
  • Why mess with a good design? We just barely modified our first design.
  • People have much more confidence going into the second round, but that isn't necessarily a good thing.
  • Models may be helpful to build, however when lacking newspaper, it may be difficult to do.
