Last Sunday I took the two big children to the Science Museum for the annual Egg Drop Contest.
There were about 40 kids participating in middle and high school with judges from the local Engineering school some of whom also dropped eggs.
Middle school dropped their eggs from 20 feet, down a stairwell onto a 3 foot square target with points given for how close to the target the eggs landed as well as creativity of design. The eggs were expected to remain unbroken after falling.
The children were most impressed. I haven’t missed any eggs from our fridge yet but I won’t be surprised if I do!
