During the 2026–2027 school year, SNHS members teamed up to put their skills to the test and see who would come out on top in the annual egg drop competition! Participants worked together to engineer and test their custom contraptions at the band tower to see whose egg would survive the mighty fall!

The story
An annual egg drop engineering callenege hosted by SNHS where members worked in teams to design a contraption meant to keep an egg safe from a fall from the band tower.
Why we did it
To bring members together and collaborate on a project, apply skills gained from the classroom, and to have fun throughout the process.
What participants did
Enjoy a collaborative engineering challenge led by CGHS SNHS members, where students work in teams to design, build, and test protective contraptions for a high-stakes egg drop from the band tower. Each design tackles physics and mechanics concepts to keep the egg safe—encouraging teamwork, innovation, problem-solving, and discovery in a fun, engaging way designed for members.
In the room
Each activity connected a visible, hands-on task to the scientific thinking behind it.
Engineering design
Teams chose how to utilize a limited set of materials around the egg to create best form of protection for their egg.
Physics
As contraptions were dropped from higher heights, forces and other physical elements play a much bigger role.

During the 2025–2026 school year, members of the Science National Honor Society (SNHS) teamed up to build contraptions that would keep an egg safe from a high fall. Working together to design and test their ideas, members brought their projects to the band tower to see whose egg would survive the drop.
