How do 5th graders help Farmer Jack get apples from his orchard on a hill to his barn below when the tractor won't work? Why a zipline, of course!! 5B and 5D engineers had to build a "carrier" that would deliver Farmer Jack's apples to the barn without falling out of the carrier or without being damaged. The catch? They could only use the supplies provided, which meant they had to get creative. We also had to work with time constraints, overcome friction, and work as a team.
