Marshmallow Engineering

 Activity completed September 8, 2015



Marshmallow engineering is a super simple, fun STEM activity. It's easy to set up and clean up and chances are you already have what you need in your kitchen. When we recently visited the Children's Museum of Phoenix, they had this set up in one of their side rooms.

All you need is marshmallows of various sizes and dry spaghetti noodles. Then you can let imagination do the rest. See how tall or long something can be built. What kind of support do marshmallows offer? Can you replicate a famous bridge or building with food? What else can you use to build with? Imagination is limitless...
