Doughnuts, pasta, marshmallows, painters tape...

 Today the course commenced at 9 am. The students were broken into 4 groups to begin working on the project. Over the next 5 weeks we will have to get up to speed quickly attempting to solve a complicated communication problem with diverse elements. Their first task was to work together using marshmallows, raw pasta, and painters tape to build the tallest structure they could in 3o minutes.

The teams came up with creative and very tall solutions. 

The teams then started to work their way through large amount of information that the professors had divided from the client. 

Monday afternoon was spent reading, researching, and readying a presentation to be shared.
