TEAMWORK: Students collaborate on their egg contraptions while taping together boxes. Since teams are given about 50 minutes to design and make their egg container, teamwork is used to get work done. “Working in teams made the process much better because we could all work on individual things at once,” senior Havia Goulding said. “It would have been way more difficult if we had to do it alone.”
