Creativity and Community

Splat! Head on over to the Egg Drop!

The event is organized by both Design Collaborative and Science Central, and is held at the museum. About a dozen DC volunteers help with the event in various roles, including registration, Chicken Suit wearer, and the bravest volunteers who are stationed on the roof. Participants create a contraption to safely cradle an egg as it’s thrown from the top of the building to the ground below into a “frying pan.” Each participant is given a minute to discuss their contraption before it goes over the roof. After, awards are given to participants in a variety of categories, including most creative, most devastating drop, and Director’s Choice!

We love these events because they not only give us a chance to be creative, but they allow us to engage with our community. Get out there and enjoy your city!
