Tishk International University’s Civil Engineering Department organized a fun-filled Marshmallow Competition for first-grade students at the university campus on Tuesday, December 20th 2022.
The competition was held on the university’s campus, where the students were introduced to the basic concepts of civil engineering. The aim of the competition was to build the tallest and strongest structure using marshmallows and spaghetti. The young participants were encouraged to use their imagination and creativity to come up with innovative designs.
The event was attended by the teaching staff of the Civil Engineering Department who supervised the competition and provided guidance to the students. The participants were divided into teams and given a set time to build their structures.
The students were enthusiastic and fully engaged in the activity, displaying excellent teamwork and problem-solving skills. They used their critical thinking abilities to overcome challenges and improve their designs. The competition was both fun and educational, providing the students with a unique opportunity to learn about engineering concepts in a playful and interactive way.
At the end of the competition, the structures were judged based on their height and stability. The winning team was awarded.
Civil engineering teaching staff expressed his pleasure at the success of the competition, stating that it was an excellent way to introduce young civil engineers to the field of civil engineering and inspire them to pursue careers in the field, and the Civil Engineering Department works to continue organizing similar activities in the future.
