Tower Building

Foster team building through hands-on problem solving

How do you build a 6-foot tower with paper, cups, and straws? You have only 15 minutes to plan and 10 minutes to build. New AmeriCorps and VISTA members will have fun solving this problem with their group.

This Tower Building activity was adapted by PCC's AmeriCorps (Oak Park, IL), an AmeriCorps*State program that provides intensive outreach and health education to individuals and families at high-risk for poor health and social outcomes.
