Grade 9 Egg Drop Competition - National Engineering Month!

In celebration of National Engineering Month, the grade 9 students from SHHS and FASH participated in an Egg Drop Competition that was held in the FASH gym on Monday, March 30. Mr. Jobb, grade 9 science teacher from FASH, and Mrs. Bekkers, grade 9 teacher from SHHS, grouped students into teams of four. The teams were given the task of designing an apparatus around an egg such that the egg would stay intact when dropped from a 10-foot ladder.  Students were given a supply list and a limited budget of $20,000 (fake money) that they could use to purchase these supplies. 

The winning team members, with the only uncracked egg, were Hannah Baillie, Molly MacInnes, Ava Bampton and Arshan Keyghobadi.  Special thanks to Mae Seto and Marcel Lefrancois, current SHSH parents and professional engineers, who volunteered to help organize and run this event for our students.
