For this project we had to create a tower strong enough to withstand an earthquake. You had $60 to spend. The tower had to be 60cm tall and 30cm wide. You have spaghetti and blu tack and each spaghetti is $1 and each gram of blu tack is $1.

Engineering process:

The engineering process was very chaotic and messy because people were either not in the lesson or they were hanging out with other groups. Next time we could all stick to what we are meant to be doing. Next time we have to build this tower I would make it slimmer and more stable so it was the right height and and strong enough to withstand an earthquake. For the future I would probably go with different people because we didn’t get the work done and some of the group members kept on walking to other groups and started talking to them while everyone else was doing the project.

Teamwork:

My group was pretty god because we managed to get the work done but we could’ve spread the work out so one or two people were doing all the work because two people were doing most of the work and one person was doing all the research and most of the still, while the 4th person was walking around talking to friends and not helping. We all communicated well and that’s how we managed to finish the project. Eleanor was the Project Manager, Tim was the Speaker, Cooper was the Equipment Manager, and I was the reporter. Tim, Eleanor, and Cooper created the tower with their patience and delicacy. It took a while to get it right but they managed to complete it. I did the research and some more stile and helped the others with their stile because that’s what I am better at.
