We finally started building our tower by beginning with the Chinese Tower part that is supposed to go on top. By gluing toothpicks or skewers together, we formed many hexagons, which, as we know from last year’s project, are especially sturdy. You can see these in the picture below. We plan to do 6 layers of hexagon rings resembling the iconic Chinese-style roofs as seen on the Chinese Tower in Munich. 3 of these 6 will dangle below the top 3 layers at the very top by being attached to them with strings. This way, we’ll put our unique spin on the Chinese Tower premise. It’s quite difficult to picture from this explanation alone, but you’ll see what we mean soon enough. We’ve still got a long way to go. Stay tuned!
