Build a Tower, Build a Team

This is a wonderful and powerful TED Talk by Tom Wujec. Here is what I love about this talk:

• the design challenge itself- could be used to teach student about the design process
• the finding regarding Kindergarten students
• the finding regarding turning the challenge into a High Stakes challenge- see my post on Drive: the Surprising Truth about What Motivates Us by Daniel Pink
• the overall message regarding collaboration and teamwork
