Welcome to our project!

The Egg-gineering project is a global project involving 50 classrooms who will eggs-change boxes and open their packages live on a video-conference (Skype or Google Hangout).  The goals of the project are 1.) Teamwork  2.) Problem Solving 3.) Creativity 4.) Connections and 5.) FUN!

Materials List: 

1 Shoebox per team for shipment.
Papertowels to create a thin layer on the inside of the box.
Saran Wrap and Brown Paper to wrap each box with a double layer for shipment.




Building Materials (per team):
15 straws
100 cm of masking tape
5 rubberbands
3 sheets of copy paper
5 popsicle sticks (large or small)

1 egg in a small ziploc baggie (Not for protection, but just in case!)

Please ship by Thanksgiving 2015 and work with your partner class to arrange a videoconference.  We'd love for your class to write a blog post about your project on this blog.  Check your email for more details of where to report data through Google Docs!
