Newspaper+Shelters

Technology Challenge - Newspaper Shelters

You are lost. You have to protect yourself from the sun. All you have is newspaper and masking tape. Design and make a shelter.

We were split into groups of 3 or 4 people. We talked about how we needed to work interdependently (as a team). First we came up with 4 different designs. Then we had to choose the one that we thought as a group would be the easiest and most successful. The making of the shelters was rather hard. Many of us had trouble rolling the newspaper tight enough to make a pole but it gave us lots of opportunities to work interdependently! Once we made our poles we then found that they wouldn't stand up by themselves. We had to rethink our designs and solve the problem of how to make the poles stand up. Once we had the poles standing up we could put on a roof. We think we made some pretty cool shelters!
