Abstract | An excellent common activity in technology and engineering classes involves dropping an egg from a significant height in a protective device designed and built by students. This article describes how the author uses the classic "egg drop" as an inspiration to have students modify a small crash test vehicle that speeds down a track and crashes into a cinder block. Their twofold challenge involves designing a restraint system to keep the occupant (the raw egg) from being ejected during a crash and also designing ways to dissipate the energy to minimize injury to the occupant.
