Many of you have probably heard of the egg drop challenge, and maybe even have tried it yourself.  Traditionally, you are tasked with dropping an egg from a certain height that is somehow protected from breaking as it lands.  Sound familiar?  If not, you get to try it here!  To make this more of a challenge, you have the option of adding a "co-pilot" egg.  Imagine you are designing a spacecraft that has to land safely on a planet or asteroid, and you have both a pilot and a co-pilot operating the ship.  If you choose to have a co-pilot egg, both must be able to survive and both must be in the same compartment onboard their spacecraft.

Class is at 10:15 am
