what is the marshmallow challenge

The Marshmallow Challenge is a team-building activity and a simple design exercise that involves building the tallest free-standing structure from some spaghetti sticks, tape, and string and placing one whole marshmallow on the top. The challenge was invented by Peter Skillman and popularized by Tom Wujec. The participants are split into smaller competing groups, and each group has 18 minutes to build the tallest structure using 20 sticks of spaghetti, one yard of masking tape, one yard of string, and one marshmallow. The exercise teaches essential lessons about the creative product development process and the nature of collaboration. The challenge helps the participants to improve their innovative and problem-solving skills by helping to discover the value of prototyping. It also improves team collaboration and communication. The Marshmallow Challenge is a fun and memorable experience for everybody involved.
