To design and build a structure to safely catch a raw chicken egg dropped from varying heights. Materials One large, fresh, uncooked chicken egg, provided by the judge, will be pre inspected by both team members of the student team prior to the drop. Prior to Maryland MESA Day, students will build a structure to catch a raw egg safely.
Entries are limited to one team per school.
All entries must be turned in upon arrival on Maryland MESA Day. A landing structure is defined as any structure designed to catch the egg. Structure height will be measured from the lowest point to the highest point on the structure. The structure may not be modified, repaired, or changed in any way after it has been measured by the judges and must be completely assembled before arrival on Maryland MESA Day. Be constructed so that no spillage of materials will occur under any circumstances.
