The assumption in the Marshmallow Challenge is that marshmallows are
light and fluffy and easily supported
by the spaghetti sticks.
![Page 34: The marshmallow challenge](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022021420/58e997511a28ab287d8b59e7/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
When you actually try to build the structure,
the marshmallows don’t seem so light.
![Page 35: The marshmallow challenge](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022021420/58e997511a28ab287d8b59e7/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
The lesson in the marshmallow challenge is that we need to identify the assumptions in our project
- the cost of the product -the amount e amount of time it will take us to complete the project -the amount of help/skill we will need to acquire...
We have to challenge our assumptions/stay open-minded
That’s the mechanism that leads to effective innovation.
