Design Brief

Our objective is to design and secure our egg with straws, yarn, and rubber band. Our criteria is that: we must create a model with all the materials provided staying within a fifty dollar budget. We will work in teams to create a model that looks exactly like our sketches we submitted. I liked the fact that this project required team work and putting our heads together. When we encountered an obstacle my partner and I had to put our heads together, work as a team, and try top come up with all possible solutions. We sketched out our model to demonstrate how the final product would come out. After many trial and error we tested our project and it did not crack. The thing I liked most about this project was that it took patience and required our minds to think outside the box using limited resources. Our model would have turned out better if our straws would have been more sturdy and not bent, holding tighter together. As many of our classmates did we could have constructed a safety net to put underneath the egg, as a support system in case the egg fell out. Other materials that would have been very useful for this project would have been tape, wooden sticks, a bigger budget, and thicker string.
