Save the Egg is a competition to test the aerodynamics in parachutes and to assess which materials will work best as a parachute. Each student interested in taking part will have to assemble a parachute which will carry a egg. The competitor will build the parachute with the materials available. The objective is to release the parachute from the
4th floor to the patio without breaking the egg. The winners will get a prize!

Rules
1. The competitors can only use the materials provided to build the parachute.
2. All parachutes will be released from the 4th floor to the patio.
3. The competitor which manages to maintain the egg intact will be declared winner.
4. In case of a tie, the winner will be decided based on the time taken for the parachute to reach the ground (the longer, the better!)

Date - 11th of November period 5a
