Number of Participants: 2
Competition:

2.Students will be provided with scissors.
3.Some possible materials for their designs may be used in limited quantities: cups, masking tape, foam, styrofoam meat trays, rubber bands, paper, straws, and popsicle sticks.
4.Remember to find a balance between light weight and strong in your construction.
5.No air is permitted or any other materials such as wadded up paper in the sandwich bag.
6.No parachutes are allowed. (Judges will immediately DQ you and your device.)
7.Only 20 minutes is permitted for construction.
8.When the device has been constructed, report to the Dropping Area.
Scoring:
1.The height will be measured from the specific starting/dropping point to the ground.
2.If your egg does not break, you may move to the next higher level.
3.Once your egg has been scrambled, cracked, broken, your time is up.
