Popsicle Stick Towers: a Tasty Treat for the Eyes
Popsicles are well and good, but under their slushy sweetness lies a unique treasure: the stick. Get a bunch of them together and you’ve got the makings of a fun project. Or, in this case, you’ve got the makings of a serious (but still mostly fun) project.
Hot off the heels of its striking Birdhouse Project we displayed a few weeks ago, the NDSU architecture department is displaying a class project of popsicle stick towers through April 12 in the Museum atrium. The students created these mini skyscrapers to be at least as tall as themselves, learning fundamentals of construction and design along the way. Lucky for us, we get to enjoy them as much as we would a tasty popsicle.
