Welcome
The Marshmallow Challenge
Your Kit
Build the Tallest Freestanding Structure:

The winning team is the one that has the
tallest structure measured from the table top
surface to the top of the marshmallow. That
means the structure cannot be suspended
from a higher structure, like a chair, ceiling or
light.
The Entire Marshmallow Must be on Top:

The entire marshmallow needs to be on the
top of the structure. Cutting or eating part of
the marshmallow disqualifies your team.
Use as Much or as Little of the Kit:

Your team can use as many or as few of the
20 spaghetti sticks, as much or as little of the
string or tape. The team cannot use the
paper bag as part of their structure.
Break up the Spaghetti, String or Tape:

Teams are free to break the spaghetti, cut
up the tape and string to create new
structures.
The Challenge Lasts 18 Minutes:

Teams cannot hold on to the structure when
the time runs out. Those touching or
supporting the structure at the end of the
exercise will be disqualified.
