The video tutorial introduces a paper tower challenge where students work in pairs to build the tallest freestanding tower using limited materials: one white paper, one blue paper, and 30 cm of tape. The challenge emphasizes planning, creativity, and teamwork. Students must strategize before cutting materials, as replacements are not provided. The tower must stand independently without support. The teacher encourages students to think critically and use their resources wisely, highlighting past successes to motivate them.
