To kick off the 2nd semester of school, students in grades 7–12 put their engineering skills to the test by designing devices to protect an egg from drops ranging from 6 feet to 20 feet! Each class crowned a winner, and those teams advanced to face off against the other class champions.
After multiple drops and plenty of suspense, the last egg(s) standing earned the Golden Egg Trophy 🥇🥚
Creativity, teamwork, problem-solving, and a little bit of physics—all in one unforgettable challenge!
