Teamwork makes the dream work with Project Looking Ahead!

Posted on by

Recently, our staff member Andrea visited Project Looking Ahead at Hernando HS for a fun and engaging Soft Skills workshop on teamwork. Students competed to build the tallest free-standing structure using only marshmallows and dry spaghetti. Congrats to the winning team—Jicelia, Skipper, Chen, and Max—for reaching an impressive height of 28 inches! 🙌

This activity highlighted the importance of communication, collaboration, and creativity. We’re so proud of everyone’s effort and teamwork!
