This week, our engineers tried to create the tallest structure using only masking tape, spaghetti noodles, and plasticine. Many of us found this challenging, but our record-breaking structures were almost 1 METER in height!
We know that humans have continued building bigger, taller, and more expansive structures throughout history. We discussed how most monuments in history not only have a financial cost (money), but a human cost as well (enslaved peoples or workers being paid unfair wages/working in unsafe conditions).
We also discussed plans for the next ‘biggest’ structure (which, if built, would cost around $1 trillion and could house over 1 million people). Check out the video below for some size comparisons [please note: the last 2 structures are not yet built but are just proposed blueprints]:
