The basic idea of this project is to "think outside the box." We had to build tallest tower possible that will hold a Styrofoam egg at the top with out tipping. Using only 3 sheets of paper, and glue. Most people just made the paper into big rolls, and put them on top of each other, like a large shaft, the tallest being 4 feet, 2 inches tall. The example that we were shown during class was 10 feet tall.

What we should have done is rolled the paper up into as many tiny, pencil thick rolls, and put them all together like the Eiffel Tower. The problem was that we tried to rush threw it, and have the best, quickest-built tower, when in reality, we just were making them worse. No one came up with the other idea, so we did not build to our full potential. From this, we learned that it is not always the best to use the first idea that pops into your head, and you should always brainstorm, and think about the pros and cons of each design.
