Egg drop competition

The egg drop contest is an experiment usually performed by college or primary school students.

Competitors typically attempt to create a device that can keep a raw chicken egg intact when dropped from a height.

Students are asked to build a device made from a limited or unlimited amount of materials to support an egg when dropped from various heights.

One of the larger regional egg drop competitions is the Winston-Salem / Forsyth County Egg Drop Competition that takes place during Engineers Week (late February) each year.
