To
celebrate Engineer's Week § Join the fun and learn a thing or two at the annual
Tri-Cities ASME Egg Drop. Designed to promote engineering and science
in the Tri-Cities community, it's also an excellent opportunity to
encourage students to consider math, science, and other technical
fields/disciplines as career options. This event is being organized by the
Holston Section, ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers). § Objective: Participants are
asked to protect an egg from a second story drop to keep it from SMASHING
when it hits the ground. Accuracy of the drop, minimizing the weight of
the protective device, and minimizing the number of components in the
protective device are all factors in determining who wins. § All ages, including adults, are
encouraged to participate. § Format/Levels: Compete as an
individual, or compete as a team from your school, family, church, or other
group. § Individual Registration
