OBSERVATION
The town of Hannut is thinking about building a tower located “Grand-Place”. For this
purpose, they are asking students from the Lycée to conceive and realize different
structures. As new architects, you have 200 shish kabob picks and sewing strings to
realize your project. Your tower needs to be as high as possible and must resist a weight
of 500 gr. Be careful, we will measure the height of the tower on the point on which the
weight is dropped on your tower.
The highest tower (resisting 500 gr) of each class of second grade will be measured and
the best tower will be exhibited in the technologies class.
