In this project we had to design a blueprint of a tower. Our goal was to make the tallest tower compared to the rest of our classmates'. The requirements that we had to follow were: making it tall, it can resist someone blowing on it and shaking it. This seemed easy to me. I first researched on some designs recommended to stand firmly and it was the triangle shape. Therefore, my teammates and I began to brainstorm ideas of towers with the base of a triangle. We finally agreed on one final design which looks like the one in the picture above. Was it a success like the one above as well? No it was not. We concluded that we were putting to much weight to the bottom so it was falling down. After our first attempt, we started back to step one which was to figure out what other design would be a lot more successful.
