Let's start coding with the Hour of Code

Egg landing

The challenge is to design an airbag system, but the engineering process is the key to this lesson.

—Criteria: the goals that must be satisfied to achieve success

• Egg can be dropped from a 2-meter height onto a hard floor without breaking. 
• Egg can be rolled across the floor for at least 2 meters without breaking.

Constraints: the factors that limit how you can solve a problem.

• Each team has a $100 budget to purchase materials. 
• Only purchased materials can be used to construct a landing system. 
• Student teams must show a detailed sketch of the planned landing system to the teacher before purchasing the materials to build their model.
