Self Evaluation:

During the building I felt a little frustrated at times but I mostly felt determined to complete since we had a good plan and my group was fun.

I thought our design was different then most of the classes because most of them decided to make more of a 3 dimensional type of design.

If I could add another material, it would be super glue because that would make the activity so much easier !

My contribution to the group was keeping track of supplies, writing out the financial plan, and getting supplies.

Group Evaluation:

Tower's height:

I like how my group's design was made with multiple spaghetti sticks binded together to make it more sturdy and stable. I don't like how the top of our tower was slightly off balance, making it hard for it to stand on it's own.

The biggest challenge was making it stable and sturdy which we overcame by binding 3-4 spaghetti sticks together with blue tape.

If I could build the tower again I would try to make the top of the tower more balanced so it could stand on it's own beter.
