Paper Tower


The paper tower


On the 13th June 2018 for our GNCT course we made a paper tower. first our madam separate us to 3 groups. Then she gave us 6 different coloured A4 sheets and a sellotape roll. She gave us a challenge to make a paper tower with limited resources in a given time period. We have to make a stable paper tower with maximum height. Our group consist of twelve members. Two girls and ten boys were there.

At the beginning it was hard for us to make the first step. So first we get a rough sheet of paper and roll that. Then we have drawn our sketch to make the tower. We mainly focus on the base of the tower. As we have to make a stable tower base is the most important part.




Our tower was very stable. But the height was smaller than the towers made by other groups. But the towers made by other groups were not stable.






We learned so much of things from the activity. We learned how to manage time and make the best product with best limited resources. Also we learned how to interact with group members to achieve a single goal.

We were instructed to take 10 pieces and exchange it with other groups and then we started to prepare our picture as much as possible. Within on that day we couldn't complete it so that we have to continue it on next day also. At the end we had some remaining parts  but when consider our group with others we were at the high position with our task. We completed it properly and tried to do our best with that picture and we learned l...

The Paper Tower

                                                                  PAPER TOWER  Today I’m going to talk about another enjoyable game which we played in last week.It's name was paper tower.We were divided to three groups and given six papers with tapes.We were instructed to create a tower.The tallest and the most steadiest tower will be the best tower. How ever we had only thirty minutes and happily we could manage the time. First we planed about our tower. We had so many different ideas and finally we decided to a way to create our tower. That was a really good one. We decided to create a huge foot of the tower. And that makes the tower steady very much. We cut a paper into two and scroll it like a stick. After that as I mentioned early we needed a big foot, so we used four legs in a pyramid and have achieved that t...

Leadership means different things to different people around the world, and different things in different situations.
