Each year the 5th graders and their dads design a container to protect an egg from being broken when dropped from a height of 30 feet. Containers are weighed and must follow certain guidelines. Tom wasn't able to attend the event, but did help Josh design an "egg sandwich" container.
Unfortunately, the egg did not survive. I think the bread dried out too much. May be plastic wrap around the egg instead of rubber bands would have helped too.
Kent's egg survived in his Styrofoam container survived. It was also the 4th lightest design.
