Technology Challenge 😯

Hello everyone. Today we had a Technology challenge. Our teacher gave us a problem and we had to solve it. There are poisoned plants that have grown next to a tree. We had to get the fruit that was on the tree without stepping on the floor or the poisoned plants (felts). Each group had to make stilts to be able to cross over the poisoned plants and grab the fruit (aka yellow ball). We had 20 minutes to make our stilts. When you reached the finish line our stilts had to be measured. 

We actually had no idea what stilts were but we just took the challenge and made whatever we could. Our equipment that we could use was scissors (to cut), some news paper and a 2 metre string. Our team was really frustrated and we were clearly not working as a team. We decided on one thing and then a few minutes we had another idea. Basically we were just switching ideas to ideas. 

We had no more sellotape and our stilt kept on braking. We were all frustrate and didn't know what to do until our teacher said we only had 5 minutes left. For the last 5 minutes we just stuffed the newspaper into one of our teammates shoes. Apparently we were allowed to use our shoes. All the teams were basically disqualified either because they fell or their paper were to thin to be measured. 

Here is some photos of us doing the challenge:
