7. Marshmallow Challenge
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 chandelier.
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 the team.
Use as Much or as Little of the Kit: The 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.
Ensure Everyone Understands the Rules: Don’t worry about repeating the rules too many times. Repeat them at least three times. Ask if anyone has any questions before starting.

8. Why the Marshmallow Challenge?
Follow-up questions to ask of the group to facilitate discussion and further learning:
Was there a leader on your team? Who was it and who decided who the leader would be?
If you had no leader, do you think having designated someone a leader would have helped?
If you had a leader, how did he/she do? Of the leadership practices we have learned so far, which did your leader use?
How helpful was everyone on your team in challenging the process of building the tallest structure? Did anyone appear to be an expert?
Did any team members tune out of the activity — out of frustration with other members or for some other reason? What could you have done to keep all members of the group fully engaged?
Did you feel everyone's ideas were well received during the activity?
How did you feel as the time limit was approaching? Did pressure increase? If yes, was that helpful or not?
In retrospect, what could you have done better to enhance your ability to Challenge the Process?
Did you practice outsight? Where might new ideas have come from given your time constraint?
Did you celebrate small wins? If yes, how did you do this?
