Pasta Challenge

Applying the traits of an innovator
Purpose: We have been investigating innovators and innovation. We have discovered that innovators have special traits that help them to be leaders in their fields. We also discovered that we share many of the same traits.
The five traits that I think I share in common with innovators are:
  • Challenging
  • Determined
  • An individual
  • Competitive
  • Collaborative

I think the most important traits of an innovator that we identified are:


Because…..
  • Collaboration
  • Communication
  • Critical thinking
  • Creativity
  • Empathy
  • Effective
  • Problem Solving
We applied our skills to a group technology challenge- “The leaning tower of pasta”.
Success criteria:
  • Build the tallest freestanding tower using only 40 small marshmallows and half a packet of spaghetti pasta.
  • Construct it within the 20-minute

    timeframe.
  • Only use the materials supplied

How did we use our individual traits in our group: I was determined to make support to hold the tower up. I think our team was good a communicating with each.

Next time we could try:
Next time I could not eat the pasta and marshmallows.
Try a different shape.

Game Plan
- Aim for the head so there scared of you so they don't go for you.

- Aim for one team at a time.
- Have the tall and good catches at the front at the front so you can get the balls out of your square faster.
-
- Don't be one group spread out so we can get the balls out of our square first.

Yesterday we played a game what I call death game.
