 * Quick Build I: Computer Paper and Masking Tape**

Your task is to work with your partner to design and construct the tallest tower that you can. You will be given 1 sheet of printer paper and 30 cm of Scotch tape. You will have approximately 20-25 minutes to build your tower. It must be free-standing and stand long enough to be measured. You may have one "test" measure and one "official" measure, meaning you can continue building or work on a redesign prior to having your final measure. Use the Engineering Design Process (EDP) to help you through your task.

Reflection: In the space below, you will be reflecting about your design process, how the competition applied to the Engineering Design Process, and how you could be more successful.

Grading: These questions must be answered in your reflection. (10 points)


 * Height Achieved
 * Detailed description of how you designed your tower (including original thoughts, how they were changed, what you used in your final tower, pictures of the tower, etc.)
 * What did you learned during the building process?
 * What steps of the Engineering Design Process did you use and how did you use them?
 * Which steps of the Engineering Design Process didn't you use but should/could have used with more time?
 * If given the opportunity to compete again, how could you be more successful?
