This lecture presents a project where students design a structure to protect an egg during a 24-meter free fall competition, with constraints such as no helium, electronics, or parachutes allowed. The winning structure, inspired by badminton shuttlecocks, features a polystyrene head and a paper skirt to slow down and direct the fall to protect the egg upon impact.
