The Newspaper Table Engineering Challenge
Due by December 19th, 2014
Goal:
Construct a table completely out of newspaper and scotch tape that can support the weight of a book. (The heavier the book the better!)
Constraints and Criteria:
- You may use no more than 15 full-size pieces of newspaper.
- You may use no more than 24 inches of scotch tape.
- The table must be constructed on a flat surface.
- The table must be free-standing, which means you may not tape it to the surface upon which it is constructed.
- You may not use any other materials to complete the challenge.
- You must submit a picture that clearly shows the table supporting the weight of a book. Try to include everyone that participated in the picture. This is a family challenge, so the more the merrier!

- No more than 24 inches of scotch tape.
