Challenge Accepted-3: Bob the Builder
Problem Statement: Design and build a bridge structure using ice-cream stick within 1-hour timeframe. The structure should be functional, aesthetically pleasing, and able to withstand a series of tests.
Objective: To encourage students to apply their creativity, engineering skills, and teamwork in constructing a robust and innovative structure. The event aims to enhance problem-solving abilities, promote collaboration, and foster an understanding of basic engineering principles.
Terms and Conditions:
Participation:
Teams must have 3 to 5 members.
Each team must have a designated team leader.
Materials:
Each team has to bring standard set of materials (e.g., ice-cream sticks and glue).
Permissible tools (e.g., scissors, rulers) only these tools can be used.
Construction Phase:
Teams will have 1 hours to build their structure.
The structure should be restricted to the prescribed dimensions
