Skyscrapers Activity

This Activity is meant for Scouts BSA.

2 or 3 sheets of regular paper for each patrol
pair of scissors for each patrol
one quarter, 50cent, or dollar coin for each patrol
a tape measure to determine height

Your patrol has been hired by a very impatient multi-billionaire to design the world's tallest skyscraper. This skyscraper will have a heavy helipad on top for personal use. The client that hired you wants a model built in the next 10 minutes to show off your design.

---

Each patrol designs and creates a skyscraper and places their coin on top. It must remain standing with no other support. They may use only the paper for construction materials - no tape or string or anything else.
Scouts need to be respectful of the working space of other patrols and not create wind currents, vibrations, or other interference.

You could have a reward, possibly the winning patrol receives all the coins.
