  14. Crash-Test Egg! • Challenge: Design & build a helmet for your egg to prevent “injury” upon impact • Suggestions: • TALK briefly about ideas first • LISTEN to everyone in your group • Work together as a TEAM • Constraints: • Limited time & materials • Eggs will be dropped from 2-2.5m • Helmet must fit INSIDE ziplock bag • You ONLY GET 1 EGG • You CAN’T TEST BEFORE OFFICIAL TESTING

  15. The Strongest Structure • Challenge: Design & build a structure from which you will hang a cup filled with heavy stuff…without tipping over! • Suggestions: • TALK briefly about ideas first • LISTEN to everyone in your group • Work together as a TEAM • Constraints: • Limited time & materials • Structure must be able to hold the cup and contents without tipping over • You CAN TEST BEFORE OFFICIAL TESTING
