Do you enjoy planning? A good challenge?

Does the ticking of the time clock exhilarate you?

If your answer to all of these questions is yes, then we have the perfect event for you.

Introducing the Marshmallow Challenge- an opportunity to gather your friends and put your architectural and engineering skills to test.

The task is simple, you have 30 minutes to build the tallest free-standing structure. Your materials? 20 sticks of spaghetti, one yard of tape, one yard of string, and one marshmallow. The marshmallow, of course, needs to be on top (let’s call it the capstone of your glorious towers, if you will 😄)

You’re welcome to join the challenge in teams of 3 to 5 people, but, for the self-assured amongst us, we welcome solo challengers as well!

P.S: As a bonus, our residential assistants will also be on hand to answer all your halls life concerns and questions (don’t worry, you can drop in even if you’re not playing 😄)

So, gather along and rouse those competitive spirits, for there is a glorious prize awaiting at the end. Join us for the Marshmallow Challenge this May (see below for the dates and times for your respective accommodations)
