Marshmallow Challenge!

Welcome to Principles of Engineering!
On Day 1 we complete the Marshmallow Challenge.  Here's Tom Wujec, from Autodesk, talking about why it proves useful to kindergartners and CEOs alike.
"I believe the marshmallow challenge is among the fastest and most powerful techniques for improving a team’s capacity to generate fresh ideas, build rapport, and incorporate prototyping - all of which lie at the heart of effective innovation."

Tomorrow we'll talk about more details of the course, the syllabus, etc.
