The Alabama Chicken and Egg
Festival is seeking entries for its "Egg Drop for Future Engineers" competition
where a cash prize of $500 is on the line. Lewis Innovative Technologies is
partnering with the UAHuntsville College of Engineering in sponsoring the
contest scheduled for Saturday, April 14, 2012 during the eighth annual event.
"The Egg Drop for Future Engineers" competition allows teams from middle schools and high schools to experience hands-on engineering challenges and a chance to see a real world application while using skills learned in their science and math classes," said Elizabeth Lewis, president of Lewis Innovative Technologies. "Discoveries made through this type of competition can encourage students toward technical and professional careers."
The competition tests
students' skills in building the best contraption to catch a falling egg
without it breaking allowing them to experience hands-on engineering challenges
through a team approach. The contest is open to both middle and high school
students and the winning teams in both divisions receive $500. Teams will be
given 30 minutes to construct a device with materials supplied on-site that
will cushion the egg. The egg must survive drops from four selected heights,
each higher than the previous one.
An application is available
for downloading at www.alabamachickenandeggfestival.com. Registration is free but those wishing to
participate must pre-register by March 31, 2012.
For more information, call
the Alabama Chicken and Egg Festival office at 256.905.0700.
