Crepuscular ??

Today's challenge in mentoring:
you have 40 cups and 20 minutes to build the highest tower.


Challenge part 2:  combine your cups to make
a bigger structure.


The winning design used a circular base and ended up over 6
feet high.  The clean up was huge.
Crepuscular?  Our new word for the day.  It came up in our discussion of lions in Africa.  It means animals that are active at dawn and dusk.  We learn something new everyday.
