SE 194W Naturalistic Field Research

Marshmallow Challenge Winter 2019

In Dr. Karna Wong’s Social Ecology (SE) 194W Naturalistic Field Research course, teams of teaching assistants attempted to build the tallest structure with spaghetti sticks, tape, string, and a marshmallow on top. Each team had approximately 15 minutes to build the structure, while students took notes to practice naturalistic field observation. For more information about the Marshmallow Challenge, view this 2010 TedTalk, “Build a tower, build a team” with Tom Wujec: https://youtu.be/H0_yKBitO8M
