Introducing the first in a series of at-home engineering challenges for you and your family! What's the tallest free-standing tower you can create at home using only simple household items and without traditional adhesives?

We're on the lookout for the tallest tower, the most unique and creative tower, and the best engineered tower. Winners will receive an electronic certificate of achievement and be highlighted on our channel. Check this thread for rules and submission info.

Rules
Use only simple household items (e.g., marshmallows, spaghetti noodles, pipe cleaners, toothpicks, foil, straws, Play-doh, etc.)
Do not use any traditional adhesives (e.g., tape, glue, etc.)
