This is a slight twist on the classic egg-drop challenge…you will design and build your own Mars landing vehicle for an egg using materials provided by the MAP.  After being given instruction, you will have to think about the best way to protect an egg as it lands on Earth.  (We’ve had many different designs, but see if you can figure out which works best!)  Then, build your landing vehicle using the available materials provided by the MAP.  Some JAMers like to draw out their designs before building, and this is a great way to learn how engineers prepare for their projects.  Once completed, we will test your landing vehicle to see if it meets the challenge…which is to protect the egg inside without it breaking!
