Self Evaluation Worksheet:
How did you personally feel while doing this activity? 
I felt confident because it seemed to work pretty well from the start.
Did you ever want to give up?How similar is your design to others in the room?
No, I did not feel like giving up. Several others had the same type of sides with an "X" pattern for extra stability.
If you could add another material to the mix, what would it be and why?
I would probably add glue because it's much more stable.
What was your contribution to the group?
I helped build the tower and took the majority of the pictures.

Group Evaluation Worksheet
 Analysis:

Include a picture of your tower along with your architect's approved building permit

Include your accountant's repot w/ final amount spent on the tower and how many spaghetti sticks & centimeters of Blue tape were used.
Measure & record your tower’s height in centimeters.
Our tower was approximately 90 centimeters tall when completed.
What do you like and dislike about your current design?What was the biggest challenge you faced? How did you overcome it?
What I liked about our design was that it was very stable. If we had had more spaghetti and marshmallows available, we most likely could've added at least a few more levels. That being said, what I disliked was that each level took a lot of spaghetti to make.
If you had an opportunity to redesign your tower, what would you change?
I wouldn't change a thing. It easily made it past the required 80 cm height limit and remained stable while doing so.
