Put two books 1 foot apart.
Build a bridge between the two books which will support 10 pennies (placed in the center)
Your only bridge building materials - About twenty 3 x 5 index cards
The students worked in pairs or groups of three to complete the challenge. They only had about 15 minutes. At the very end, a few students figured out to fold the cards for support. Even thought not all groups built the bridge, they accomplished my main goals -- working together, communicating, thinking outside the box. We will have challenges like this more often this semester.
