Week 1 had students participate in the group task The Marshmallow Challenge. unfortunately, I was unable to attend week 1 class so I tackled The Marshmallow Challenge on my own. firstly I had 20 spaghetti sticks, sticky tape and I used a little cardboard box my film comes in because I was all out of marshmallows and its a similar weight to a marshmallow (kind of!). I set the timer and began, at first I really struggled, pieces of spaghetti were not sticking in place and were snapping really easily and I was getting frustrated. eventually, I was able to complete the task in under 10 minutes.

approaching this challenge solo instead of in a group really put things into perspective, I feel like I can understand how a balanced group approach to a task like this would make achieving the goal easier. however, at the same time, I do believe working in groups can raise many different obstacles then working solo.
