Building Construction 2

Project 1 - Skeletal Tower

A group of 5 of us were required to construct a tower with a height more than 30cm using popsicle sticks (not more than 100) as our main component with the aid of connectors like toothpicks, skewers and threads. Based on the given requirements, a number of experiments were conducted for the structure before concluding its final design.
