Egg Drop Project, Project Week 1990

One of the Project Week projects I ran in the early 90s as the First Year Industrial Design lecturer I was “Egg Drop”. Students were provided with sheets of A4 paper and sticky tape and required to create packaging for an egg which would protect it from a two metre drop. The occasional failures were more entertaining than the successes.

The photos show students climbing a step ladder in the courtyard between the old D Block and the D Block Annex to test their egg packaging. (Would this be allowed under current OHS rules‽) ~Andrew Scott
