Technology challenge

Today at Enrich we had to start a technology challenge. We had to launch a shuttlecock the furtherest with only 4 rubber bands, 2 straws, 4 tooth picks, a cup, tin foil and cellotape.  We got sorted into teams, my team was Claire ,Connor ,Hamish and Tara.  We had only 20 minutes to complete it, we made a slingshot but at the last minute it collapsed.  The prize was chocolate.
