Gingerbread STEM challenge

In the original gingerbread man story, the gingerbread faces a problem in which he needs to get across the river without getting wet.  We decided to test what would happen if our gingerbread men (teddy graham) got wet,  It was not pretty.  The students were then tasked with building a bridge out of marshmallows and toothpicks.  They had to construct the bridge, place it over water, and get their gingerbread man to stay on the bridge without falling into the water.  I was so impressed with how well they worked together and how creative they were with their bridges!
