What if you were given a problem to solve that seemed at first to have no solution? Students were given a roll of duct tape, a marker, and a small whiteboard. The task was to draw a happy face on the board with the marker.
However, the whiteboard was placed inside a large circle that students could not step into. They also could not cross over the invisible 'force field' that ran from the circle to the ceiling!
Many solutions were tried... and many failed. But failure is just an opportunity to learn!
After some careful thinking, a couple of teams realized that suspending the marker in the middle of a long piece of tape supported by people on either side could create a possible solution.
And finally, it was found that four people working together with a large tape structure in the shape of an 'X' could indeed be a viable solution!
