Our first design challenge for ASME this year was an egg drop. Members got into pairs and created designs to keep an egg from breaking when dropped off of a second story balcony. The items the teams were allowed to use for their egg drop were a box, duct tape, twine, popsicle sticks, and paper. Each of these supplies were given a value and each team was only allowed to use ten dollars worth of supplies for the given values. All successful drop devices were in the running for one of three awards: smallest, cheapest, and most creative.
