Presented on TED.COM, filmed Feb 2010 and posted April 2010. Wujec discusses his experience using the Marshmallow Challenge in team-building exercises. Observing the challenge 100s of times, he sees that kindergarteners do better than recent business school grads (better at prototyping, less jockeying for leadership), CEOs do well, but do even better with an executive admin on their team because facilitation is important. High stakes (he's offered a cash reward) works better once the team has acquired skills; high stakes with no skills is a disaster.

Inspired by this video, both LS and RS used the Marshmallow Challenge as an icebreaker on their first class meetings (2nd semester) and both were pleased with the results.

The marshmallow challenge continued to be a popular icebreaker throughout the GSCC project. In semester 4, RS referenced this video again, and LS created her own video (see tag marshmallow) with her students completing the challenge.
