Team Challenges

As we're wrapping up the school year we are tackling a few shorter team work challenges including parachutes in 20 minutes, stacking cups using rubber bands and no hands, and sleighs that can slide down ramps of varying angles.

Parachutes

Using the materials provided, can your team design a parachute that can help a 'passenger' land on the ground safely?

Which design elements contribute to a parachute taking longer to reach the ground?

We also had a few quick team-work challenge found on Pinterest:
