Straw Tower Contest: Build, Test, and Engineer Like an Expert!
About this Resource
Can your students design a tower that stands tall, resists earthquakes, and withstands strong winds? In this hands-on STEM challenge, teams will use plastic straws and tape to construct the highest, most stable, and most creative tower possible!
This fun and engaging activity introduces students to engineering principles, problem-solving, and teamwork, encouraging them to think about stability, geometric structures, and innovative designs. After building, they’ll put their creations to the test—simulating earthquakes, wind, and measuring height to see whose tower reigns supreme!
