Content in review

With Amber Race and Christine McGarry

Amber and Christine designed their activity to compliment their TestBash Philadelphia talks "Crossing Over: How Developing a Feature Made Me Love Testing Even More" and "The Fellowship of the Test: Building a Community Across Agile Teams", respectively. Marshmallow towers does what it says on the tin, it's an awesome and fun activity where groups build marshmallow towers that meet different objectives in a changing environment.

You can also ask questions about running this activity, share your experience of taking part or your findings from running this activity over at The Club.
