Egg Drop # 1 Introduction

 In class we started a project called the egg drop. Basically, we have group and we are TeamX who design the lander or anything. This purpose of this project is to see what our heads can really think of, and the creativity that we have. Not only that, also we do this to experience what's it's like to be in a tema and construct a object of our own. 
             As some of you remembered, NASA launch a rover called curiosity, curiosity didn't just land here and not break. Engineers needed to build a craft that will withstand the amount of speed and the impact to the ground of Mars.
This is the reason why we are doing this project, to see if we can use the five steps of engineering to create with a group to succeed our objectives. Speaking about the steps, first is Ask, second imagine, thrid plan, create, and finally improve. Other than this, the purpose is to experience what's it's like to be a team and create something together. My Group includes Shreyaansh, and Eli
          Today, every person in our group presented all our ideas for the base of the creation. We had some difficulties on the first ideas, but eventually he had figured out the best one that can withstand at least 10 drops. We named our Egg and hope he won't break in the end of the project. We also measured the materials that we are going to use so it is just right.
          I think we did a pretty good job if I say so myself. We did the small sketch and figured the sum of the budget. We completed what we wanted to complete so that's a mission done for us. Next class our goal would be to at least build the base as we wanted and make it perfect as possible. And of course, do some test fight so we can do some further improvements.
