In this activity students must design and create a vehicle that will protect an egg in a collision. Students must research different technologies that protect passengers in the event of a collision. They then must use this knowledge to design and build a vehicle that will protect a raw egg in a collision. Once the students build their vehicle they will test it. The test involves putting their vehicle at the top of a ramp, letting the vehicle roll down the ramp, and crash into a wall.The goal is to prevent any cracks in the egg. In the past, students have really enjoyed this activity and learned a lot about the importance of research in engineering. Below are pictures of an example of this activity.
