Students in the Introduction to Forces and Motion course participated in an Egg Drop Challenge. Their task was to create a contraption that would both slow the descent and cushion the impact of an egg dropped from a height of 3 meters. Those that survived the fall continued to 4 meters and 5 meters. The ultimate winners were Gavyn Roussin and Tessa Couture.
