The process of developing a package to secure an egg from a four-story drop is quite an interesting one. It involved first a lot of independent “blue-print” drawing from both Dane and myself. After much personal research and concept drawings, Dane and I discussed which of the designs would be most suitable. Neither of us are physics guys, so we took a lot of guesses on what might work. We shoved our egg down in a roll of paper towel, attached a parachute and a roll of duct tape for weight at the bottom (I know it’s super scientific).
The dropping of the egg off of the building was an experience filled with hopefulness. As I mentioned earlier, neither Dane nor myself have a background in physics, so we really guessed during the process of designing our container, however, we had the utmost confidence. Our package was undoubtedly the loudest when it dropped. It sounded horrendous for the egg, there was no way it survived. The egg did survive, it actually survived the first, second and third drops. This may have come as a surprise, but the design experience was filled with many ideas, some construction and some fun too.
