Normally most people begin by orienting themselves to the task. They talk about what the finished structure might look like, and who does what.
Then the team plans. They sketch, lay out spaghetti sticks and describe the best ways build the structure.
Next, they assemble the sticks and tape them into ever growing structures.
And finally, just as the time is running out, someone takes the marshmallow and gingerly places it on top of the fragile structure. They anticipate that they stand back
