Egg Drop

Project Explanation: For this challenge we had to make a system that would allow an egg to safely hit the ground without cracking. There were two different drops, one was a mini-egg drop & the other was a big egg drop.

Some technological concepts during this assignment had to do with Newton's laws and motion. Once we understood them we got to work.

If I had to redesign my egg protection system, I would try to add something to make it not fall down so hard, like a parachute. Or try something that would balance it out so it wouldn't land upside down.

Technological resources first was just using stuff like paper, string, and popsicle sticks. On the bigger drop we were allowed to use almost anything within the weight and height limits.

What I learned from this challenge is that I should try to plan things out more, and use my resources more efficiently. If I did this at the start of this assignment, I think it could've turned out better.
