Abstract	This activity is designed to build creative skills based on an everyday problem. The scenario that sometimes packages are dropped and letters get bent is used. How can a special delivery be protected from such unfortunate mishaps? Students use their creative skills to determine a way to mail raw spaghetti. A way to safely package the raw spaghetti is chosen using only the materials provided. To test the packing designs, the spaghetti is mailed through the postal system and evaluated after delivery. This activity requires a 20-minute time period for completion. (Author/SOE)
