One of the most popular children’s nursery rhymes is the tale of Humpty Dumpty. Most of us even know the rhyme by heart that begins,  “Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall…” And we all know what happens to the protagonist in the end – he breaks and can’t be put back together.

In CuriOdyssey’s Great Egg Drop class, we challenge children to rewrite history and save Humpty! Kids have the opportunity to design a build a contraption that would successfully protect an egg in the event of a “great fall.” Educators challenge participants to try different strategies to protect the egg, like building a parachute, springy landing pads or suspension struts.

This activity is a fun way to experiment with science and learn more about gravity, force and air resistance (and let’s be honest, dropping things off the roof is always a crowd-pleaser!)

Our next Egg Drop workshop will take place on Saturday, November 22, 2014 from 10:15am-12:15pm. If you have a child that is interested in engineering, likes to build, or gets excited by a good challenge, this is the ideal Saturday morning activity for him or her.
