Egg Drop Competition Day

Our egg container worked perfectly, we dropped it from 5 m and the egg was not affected at all.  Out of the whole group only one egg was broken so the class did great overall. 

When we built our container we never really had any restrictions or problems with our design because of our easy, straight-forward design. 
The most effective part on our container was, well it would be the foam because that was the only material used, and it worked perfectly, the egg cushioned the blow and bounced up off the floor.
I don't think that we would change our design if we had the chance to because it had no problems and was effective, and also it was very easy to do.

In order to carry 2 eggs succesfully we would use the same basic design except carve the hole in the centre bigger to fit both the eggs inside.  To ensure the eggs won't touch we would fit a piece of foam in between them which would cushion all blows from all directions.

Egg Drop Week

Wednesday was our egg drop test day.  Our design was putting the egg inside of a foam ball, we cut a hole about the size of the egg and when the egg is in fill the hole back in.  It worked perfectly we had no breaks, and hopefully come test day there will be none then. 

Day Three

Today in class we added clustrmaps to our blogs. They inform us who is looking at our blogs from around the world and how many times.  We were also given an assignment to post two positive comments on our classmates blogs and one area they need to improve on.

Day Two

Today in class everybody opened, customized and added followers to their blogs. We all added gadgets on them to make them all more interesting to look at.
