Build Your Resilience: The Paper Tower Method
Start with a strong base, wider than your planned height. Experiment with paper folding techniques like triangular prisms or cylinders for structural integrity. Use small pieces of tape strategically. Test each added segment's stability and load capacity. Learn from collapse; refine your design with each attempt, focusing on even weight distribution and connection strength.

The seemingly simple act of building a paper tower is a powerful exercise in practical problem-solving and iterative design. It forces you to think about foundational strength, material properties, and weight distribution. Each collapse is a lesson, not a failure, teaching resilience, adaptability, and the importance of a robust blueprint. This process hones your ability to approach complex challenges with a structured, experimental mindset, building stable solutions from basic components.
