Nothing is impossible.

The Marshmallow Challenge is an activity for beginners in design thinking to practice prototyping in testing.

The challenge: In eighteen minutes, teams must build the tallest free-standing structure out of 20 sticks of spaghetti, one meter of tape, and one marshmallow. The marshmallow needs to be on top and in its default shape.

Impossible Table (Tensegrity)

Tensegrity, tensional integrity or floating compression is a structural principle based on a system of isolated components under compression inside a network of continuous tension, and arranged in such a way that the compressed members (usually bars or struts) do not touch each other while the prestressed tensioned members (usually cables or tendons) delineate the system spatially.

The term was coined by Buckminster Fuller in the 1960s as a portmanteau of "tensional integrity".
