Nandi and Jessy show off the winning design. Good job ladies! |
Team discussion about design. |
Today was an exciting day at ACE... There was a short but fun ice breaker for everyone so they can get adjusted ... Then we then began our official meeting today where the members worked hands on with students to make a rather astounding contraption. Their jobs, to create a safe way for an egg to drop without breaking. Each were given the same supplies to use their knowledge of architecture, Those supplies included : Tape for strips, a set of straws, a rubber band, and the egg. With that the students were split into groups to make the safest home for their eggs . There were a lot of interesting things made but out of 4 groups one was successful . Jessy & Nandi both came up with the most stable protection for the egg. Until November 8th there will be more fun and learning.
