Show us your mad engineering skills and create the perfect structure to safe your egg from a fate worse than frying on the sidewalk! All supplies including eggs will be provided, just bring your thinking cap. Building your egg structure will take place from 2-3. Preliminaries will start at 3 PM, when all eggs will be dropped. All eggs that make the fall intact will move on top the finals, where the three EGGcellent Engineers will be determined by how heavy their egg construction is. The lightest egg container win!

Start getting building ideas by checking out these great books: Build It!: Activities for Building Super Structures, and Structures. Or get inspired with Egg-Drop Blues by Jacqueline Turner Banks and Egg-Drop Day by Harriet Ziefert.
