Challenge: Design and create a device that will protect a raw egg from breaking when dropped from a height. Please have your designs done and ready by October 30. Depending on the number of entries, the challenge will either take place at lunch on the 30th or live during the Halloween Assembly. More information on this will follow.
Each of the 24 CREW classes can design and build one egg drop mechanism.
The goal is to prevent a raw egg from cracking or breaking when dropped from the top of a ladder (roughly 10 feet).
The egg must be uncooked and whole (no pre-wrapping or coating).
Your class is welcome to use any materials you’d like, but nothing will be provided for you. You and your CREW class will be responsible for sourcing materials you wish to use. You must leave a space for your egg as it will be provided on the challenge day.
