"IF TWO WRONGS DON'T MAKE A RIGHT, TRY THREE!"
Have you heard of the Egg Drop Challenge? The challenge is to create a container that will protect an egg from breaking from a high fall. You can make this challenge as simple or complex as you want. It’s always one of the most memorable experiences!
Can you design a package that keeps an egg from breaking when it is dropped from 1 metre in the air? Also, how from high up could your design keep an egg safe?

Marshmallow Challenge
The Marshmallow Challenge is a remarkably fun and instructive design exercise that encourages teams to experience simple but profound lessons in collaboration, innovation and creativity. The task is simple: in eighteen minutes, teams must build the tallest free-standing structure out of 20 sticks of spaghetti, one yard of tape, one yard of string, and one marshmallow. The marshmallow needs to be on top. Surprising lessons emergewhen you compare teams’ performance. Who tends to do the worst? Why? Who tends to do the best? Why? What improves performance? What kills it?
