Inspired by our trip to NUIG where we learned that engineers are superheros, we decided to give superheroing, I mean engineering a go. We were given the materials of spaghetti and marshmallows and asked to build the tallest structure we could. Armed with our previous knowledge from bridge building and our brilliant mathematical minds we set to work. It was task that proved more difficult than we had expected. After plenty of designing and redesigning we had two structures that were in competition with each other. Harry was our worthy winner in the end and was awarded with a spaghetti/marshmallow prize from our runners up Michael and Darragh. For the last 20 minutes we were allowed build anything we wanted. This is when some more fantastic imaginative minds came to light. We may not have saved lives, or facilitated people to fly but we are well on our way to becoming brilliant engineers.
