#13 Egg Drop Challenge


The Egg Drop is a team building activity that involves collaboration, problem solving, and creative teamwork. Groups build a structure out of ordinary materials and try to protect a raw egg from breaking when dropped from a high elevation.


This Week My team consisted of 4 people - Me, Tommy, Marcus, and Thomas. We worked together to complete the egg drop challenge and to come up with an idea using the materials to make sure that our egg didn't break. The materials that we were allowed to use were an Egg, tissue paper, normal paper, plastic, string, tape and cardboard. We were also allowed to use a scissors and a marker.

To start off we came up with ideas. Our first idea was a parachute, but as we started to make it we realized it would be very difficult to get it right. Our next and final idea was to wrap everything around the egg. firstly we wrapped it in tissue paper followed by paper and then plastic. we then used the cardboard slices to put around it so it would reduce the compact from the drop and then tied the string around everything to keep it in place.

In the end our egg did not break unlike the other team who's egg smashed which proves we were the better team.
