¡Jeremiah Johnson needs your help!

1st Practice: The training.

Build a cube 

Use spaghetti split in two and marshmallows to build a cube. Is it stable?

Place spaghetti as diagonals on the sides of the cube, do you find it more stable now? 

Build a pyramid 

Make a square with spaghetti split in two and marshmallows. Add four halves to build a pyramid, as in the picture. Would you say that this structure is stable?

Experiment with other constructions.

2nd Practice: The tower. 

Build a tower of at least 40 cm high bearing in mind the following conditions:

• Must not collapse, meaning i must be strong. Your structure will withstand the weight of a playmobil on the top.
• Must not topple over, meaning it must be stable. You will achieve stability building the base wider than the top.
• Must not be too pliable, meaning it must be rigid. Think about triangulated sructures.

Practice 3. The bridge.

Design and build a bridge that connects two blocks of books forty centimeters apart.
The platform of the bridge will be a strip of recycled paper about 10 cm wide.
The bridge will be able to hold the weight of a playmobil without been broken.

Practice 4: The house.

Build the structure of a house  with a rectangular plant of 35x25 cm. 

It will have a gabled roof (tejado a dos aguas) made out two pieces of recicled paper.

Remember that you have to design it before you build it.

Practice 5: The suspension bridge. 

Build the structure of a suspension bridge by adding the use of thread to your regular materials. 

The bridge should have a span of 60 cm, connecting two blocks of books or two tables. 

In the first session of workshop you must present your sketches to your group members and reach to an agreement for a common solution. Each member of the group must draw the plans of the bridge that you are going to build. 

In the second session you will perform the bridge among all. Keep in mind that it is very important to work coordinated and distribute tasks to finish with succeed.















La organización asegura que durante el desarrollo de estas prácticas ningún muñeco ha sufrido daños ;) Además se ha reciclado todo el material sobrante (que no era poco).





Muchas gracias chicos, pero tenéis que intentar no gastar tanto material.











¡¡¡En cualquier caso lo hemos reciclado en huevos!!!
