I teach a basic design course and one of the early activities I have students do is I break them into small groups, give each group a box of bendy drinking straws, and tell them they have 15 minutes to build the tallest structure they can using only the straws and the box, with no modifications to either beyond tearing or bending or folding. They could even do it while sitting at the table. I would think a STEM crowd might like this. Or am I just a big nerd?
No. You are not JUST a nerd you are a nerd with a good idea.
I did the STEM Xmas parties... once we had a cookout and the host bought the materials to build a picnic table and the staff put it together before we ate.
It was really amazing. These are team building events after all.
