Egg Contest

What happens if you drop an egg from our mast. It will logically break. And that is exactly the challenge… Make up a construction to drop the egg from the mast in that way that it does not break.
The white watch built a kind of rocket with spoilers and some weight in the front. The red watch tried to solve the problem by making a nest of balloons with some waterbottles. The blue watch created a penguin face with a parachute.
There was a lot of excitement when the watches climbed up de mast one by one to drop their egg. None of the eggs broke so the jury had to decide by the creativity of the design. The blue watch won the egg contest.
