Empowering English Language Learners

"The Marshmallow Challenge"

I heard about this at the TBL in Asia conference so looked it up.  It's pretty interesting! In the CLE2 class we build a marshmallow tower too, but students are allowed to use many marshmallows.  The tower described in this video sounds a lot harder to make.  However, it has some similar themes, such as teamwork and prototyping.  Check it out!
