Team Brief - Chinese TowerP4

The team is tasked with constructing a tower for a customer, starting with 250 points, which can be reduced by construction time and poor quality. Planning can be done without point loss, but viewing resources costs 25 points each, and additional plans or instructions can be purchased for further points. The tower must consist of three parts, including a small figure on top, and must meet customer satisfaction to avoid point deductions for shoddy work.

Team Brief

Your team has been asked by a customer to construct a sample of a tower. You start this activity
with a total of 250 points. What points you do not ‘spend’ during the activity will be your final
score. NB you can also lose points for shoddy constructions.
You lose one point for every minute you spend in the construction of the tower. This loss starts
at the moment you collect the resources to build the tower. You can only use the resources
given. Up to the time you physically collect the resources you lose no points.
So, if you collect your building resources at 10am and complete your tower at 10.25am you lose
just 25 points from your 250 (if the tower is accurate and well-constructed).
You can of course spend some time planning before collecting your resources and do not lose
points during this period.
Before collecting the resources (hidden at the start)
you may send ONE member of your team to VIEW
them and report back. This may help with your
planning but costs 25 points per VIEW. So if, over the
course of, say, 20 minutes’ planning time, you send
three different people - or the same person three
times - to view the resources, you lose 75 points from
your potential 250 points.
A description of what the customer wants is given
opposite. Further information is available at a cost if
you want it:
• Plans for the construction of the three shapes cost
75 points.
• Detailed instructions of the finished structure cost
100 points (available only if you have already bought
the plans for the three shapes at 75 points).
Your objective is to build the tower and have a
satisfied customer.

Chinese towers have three parts.

Part 1 (the base) is four times as long as Part 2.

Part 2 is an 8cm cube. (If Parts 1 and 2 were laid end to end they would be the
length of the straw). Part 2 stands on Part 1, and on top of Part 2 is Part 3.

Part 3 is a pyramid with a square base 8cm x 8cm from which four triangles, with
sides 8cm long, fold up to a point.

When constructing these parts don’t forget to draw on flaps so when folded together
the different bits of card make tight joins which help with the structural integrity and
make for a neater job! Points are lost for a badly-made construction and the tower
should please the customer.

Because this is the Year of the Chinese Worker the finished tower must have a small
figure (made of card and approx 7cm high) balanced on the very top. Plans for the
figure are available at a cost of 25 points.
