NSLC Test

Communication Towers

The engineering students put many skills to the test tonight as they built towers from plates, cups, sticks, rubber bands, and straws. However, half of the group had to communicate without talking while the other half had to communicate without writing. Each group worked together to build towers that withstood tests mimicking the conditions of earthquakes and high winds.
