Members of SWE and American Society Of Mechanical Engineers - Kennesaw State University (ASME) came together for a hands-on Egg Drop Challenge designed to put our engineering creativity to the test.

Working in teams, participants designed and built protective devices to keep their eggs safe from a high fall, blending real-world engineering principles with lots of innovation and a little bit of suspense. It was a fantastic opportunity for students to apply problem-solving skills, work collaboratively, and celebrate the design process in a fun and supportive environment.🪂🥚

We cannot wait for more collaborations and challenges like this in the future!
