Toxic Popcorn Design Challenge
DANGER! A can of highly toxic popcorn has contaminated a circle of approximately 4 feet in diameter. The toxic area extends to the ceiling. If the toxic popcorn is not transferred to a safe container for decontamination, it will contaminate and destroy the entire city! It's up to you and your team to develop a product and process to transfer the toxic popcorn to a safe location and save our city. |
Challenge:
Inside the circle you will find 2 containers. One (unsafe container) is half full of the toxic popcorn. The other (safe) container is available for decontamination. Find a way to safely transfer the toxic popcorn from the unsafe container to the safe container using only the materials provided.
