Think Outside the Box (and Without the Glue!): Our Scrap Paper Pyramid Challenge

What happens when you give a room full of creative minds nothing but scrap paper and a goal? Absolute magic—and a whole lot of determined folding!

In today’s art lesson, we took on a challenge that sounded simple at first but turned out to be a real brain-teaser. Our mission? To build a stable, triangular-based pyramid. The catch? Zero glue. Zero tape. Zero Blu-Tack. It was an incredible challenge, but 3B were absolutely up for it!

We had to rely entirely on folding, slotting, balancing, and pure engineering willpower. There were moments of collapse, plenty of "back to the drawing board" groans, and heaps of teamwork. But step by step, the scraps of paper started taking shape.

It was amazing to see how everyone tackled the problem differently. Some went for precise origami-style locking, while others built sturdy, interlocking bases.
