Paper tower and Helium Stick

The Paper Tower



On the 13th of June for our GNCT course we made a paper tower. The activity was done by 3 groups. Our Madam gave us six different colored A4 sheets and a sellotape roll and asked us to build a tower from that given limited materials in a given time period. To win the tower should be stable and should be the highest.

At the beginning the given task was hard for all three groups. But at the end all the three groups made fine paper towers. It is happy to say that our team won that game.

From this session we learn many things. Team work, Strategic planning and Time management take priority among those learnt things.





The Helium Stick

In the same day we had another activity called Helium Stick. We were given a long stick by Madam. We had to rise it from the ground and hold it in a same height with one finger by all the members of the group.

This activity was very interesting as the previous one. No doubts everyone was happy throughout the session.
