 * ==== You are required to build a structure at least as high as yourself, which stands up by itself and has at least one moving part. ====
 * ==== Your structure is to be made only out of rolled newspaper, as is its moving part. ====
 * ==== Use a minimum of tape. Points will be lost if you use HEAPS of tape to make your structure strong. ====
 * HINT! Triangles

Watch our structures grow...
=TEAM 1= ====Room 9 (You Shine) built a reading retreat (big enough for two) complete with an inside bookshelf, a letterbox, several windows (to let in light for reading), an opening door, a swivelling flag and a woven roof.====

Their cooperative was divided into spill-rollers, joiners and weavers whose considerable efforts with their hands was celebrated in the decoration of the finished structure.
=Team 1 (according to The Brief)... Total Score: 17 Stars + 1 Bonus Star for spill-rolling technique=

 * ====**The structure must be at least as high as a student.**==== ||  || ====Most students had to bend to get in through the door.====

But the structure was high enough for 2 students to sit in easily, which was the purpose of the structure.
||  || ==3 Stars== ||
 * ====**The structure must be able to stand up by itself.**==== ||  || ====Perfect! The structure was extremely strong and stable when pushed from any direction.==== ||   || ==5 Stars== ||
 * ====**The structure must have at least one moving part.**==== ||  || ====Excellent! It had 2 moving parts: a hinged door and a swivelling flag.==== ||   || ==5 Stars== ||
 * ====**The joins must use a minimum of tape.**==== ||  || ====Very Good. About half the joins were held together with only 2 pieces of tape.====

Some joins didn't need tape at all! - the structure in places was strong enough without.
||  || ==4 Stars== || =Team 2= ====Team 2 had a special challenge because it built the structure in the Allen Centre amidst excited juniors. Building a structure to withstand the juniors had this senior team scratching their heads at times and repairing broken beams.==== ====The structure featured a roll-down door, an inside shelf, a spinning 'windmill', a retractable weapon, newspaper ropes to attach the structure to the lighting bar to hold the structure upright and prevent it collapsing under its own weight,====

and folded-fan outside wall decoration.

So much tape!
|| =Team 2 Score: 14 Stars + 1 Bonus Star for innovative use of newspaper 'ropes' .=
 * ====**The structure must be at least as high as a student.**==== ||  || ====Excellent! The tallest student could stand inside with head room to spare.==== ||   || ==5 Stars== ||
 * ====**The structure must be able to stand up by itself.**==== ||  || ====Failed :-( The structure needed 'ropes' to attach it to the lighting bar.====

a table.
||  || ==1 Star== ||
 * ====**The structure must have at least one moving part.**==== ||  || ====Excellent! The structure had 3 moving parts: a windmill, a roller blind and a retractable====

bayonet'style weapon.
||  || ==5 Stars== ||
 * ====**The joins must use a minimum of tape.**==== ||  || ====Hmm... Many joins used a huge amount of tape to strengthen the newspaper spills.====

There were, however, a reasonable number of joins with a minimum tape.
||  || ==3 Stars== ||
