Macgyver Challenge

Today we did a technology challenge called Macgyver. He was a T.V star in the olden days. He was a super hero type character who used his surroundings to get out of the villains traps. For this challenge we had to use 8 pieces of newspaper, scissors, string and 4 paper clips. We had to use those items to make a contraption to get a hammer and a chisel which he would use to break out of the concrete trap. We copied it from an episode but we didn't get trapped in real concrete. We had to stand in a taped square on the ground and the hammer and chisel were 2 and a half meters away behind a taped line on the floor. My group (including Tara Briana and myself) made a 2 newspaper rolls joined with string attached and a paper bag on the end but it sadly didn't work. The bag fell off and the strings were too short. Oh well at least it was fun.
