5th & 6th Class STEAM Challenge – Tinfoil Towers

5th and 6th Class put their engineering skills to the test with a fun STEAM challenge! Their task was to design and build the tallest free-standing tower possible using only tinfoil.

Before building, the children made predictions and planned their designs, thinking carefully about strong bases, supports, folding and rolling the foil. They then had just 12 minutes to bring their ideas to life!

Afterwards, we measured the towers, compared our results and discussed what worked well, what problems we encountered and how we could improve our designs.
