The challenge was to have the tennis ball be passed to everyone in our team as fast as possible.
Criteria changed, but included that it had to be in the air and had to touch each team member. The biggest constraint was we had to come up with a plan in about two minutes. We had a lot of different plans.
One was to make a star shape with our hands and have the ball just touch the tip of our fingers at once. We tried to make a ramp, but it was hard to coordinate. The last plan we went with was our hands in a vertical stack that the ball would go through them as fast as possible while still meeting the criteria that it had to be in the air in between changing members. Some of our plans worked out, but we couldn't quite get the ramp to work as well as the other group could.
I think our star shape idea was the most innovative and worked well. I liked how well we were working together and trying out any idea that anyone came up with.
One thing I would change is try to innovate the vertical stack idea more, by trying to create a tube with our hands that the ball still touches, but isn't slowed down much by. Our team won sometimes and lost sometimes. To make the game better, I would want to make almost an obstacle course that each person had to go through making the game longer and chances for problem solving at every obstacle.

What would be a better way of organizing/presenting this content?
