Competition Theme

The Egg Drop Challenge is a classic science class experiment where students are given an egg to drop from a high point onto a hard surface. They must design a carrier for the egg to house it during the drop.

The experiment is not just for fun, although students do enjoy it. It is intended to teach students about the relationship between force and momentum. The Egg Drop Challenge is an unconventional experiment that tests ones knowledge of design; manufacturing; cost calculation; advertising; and eco-consciousness.
