More than 40 kids used imagination and engineering skills to create a capsule device to protect an egg during the Ann Arbor District Library's "Eggcllent Engineering" event on Saturday.
Participants used a variety of materials including tape, foam, container tops, plastic netting, and cardboard boxes. There were no restrictions or guidelines, and the recurring event was open to anyone in kindergarden to fifth grade. The egg drop was was approximately 12 feet in the multipurpose room on the lower level.
Youth and Adult Services and Colletions Manager Sherlonya Turner says lots of kids had fun and had no problem coming up with their own design. "No one cried, so it was great," she says.
