MARSHMALLOW CHALLENGE

●Marshmallow Challenge itself
    At the first try, we were thinking too carefully how to construct the spaghetti, so we could not have enough time to put it into practice. However, after listening to Rab, we tried to move our hands even without any plans. Thanks to that, we could complete it barely which was pretty better than the first one. Usually I do not do something recklessly, so it was actually hard for me to keep moving, but one of the members said "move your hands" to us, which I think helped me a lot when my move stopped unconsciously. As I wrote before, I thought Shackleton's "Do something tentatively" is important to achieve something. Although we could not make a high tower, it was really fun!

●TED about Marshmallow Challenge
    I was surprised that kindergarten children were doing well at Marshmallow Challenge. From that, I realized that creativity was spoiled by the society as people grew up because probably people are forced to change their way of thinking consciously or unconsciously in order to fit the society. At school, people learn the common sense, but that will uniform everyone and deprive their creativity. The way to educate which not only teach the common knowledge but also keep the creativity is required, I think.



Sorry, I cannot put some picture images now.
