YOU HAVE A CHALLENGE!
You have one simple challenge…
Throw a tea bag into a cup from the furthest distance possible!
You are encouraged to adapt the teabag and cup to help increase the distance and accuracy of the throw.
You can also create or use an existing invention to help increase the length of your throwing technique.
What distance do you think you can achieve?
Who will be the winner?
The winner will be who the person the Taskmaster decides has the best throw.
This could be the furthest throw, the most creative or the one that impresses them the most.

Steps to Succeed
1. Brainstorm ideas for how you can adapt each of these aspects of the throw to increase your distance:
2. Create a plan for your tea bag throw. You might find it helpful to write this down and refer back to.
3. Test! Make sure to try a number of attempts and make notes on what worked well, as well as any changes you could make to increase accuracy and distance.
4. It's time for your final attempts! Make sure to use your notes from previous attempts to improve your throws. Try recording a video of each attempt to make sure you catch it on camera, it may be your best attempt!
5. Share your video of the throw which travelled the furthest with Mr James and then upload onto Global Campus. Don't forget to tell us the distance of the tea bag throw!
Remember
You also MUST submit your video onto Global Campus as well.
Email your video to Mr James by May 12th Monday, May 16th so the Taskmaster can decide the winner.
Good luck!
