The Eggs Prize 2013

Seckman Middle School 7^th grade science classes are participating in The Eggs Prize again this school year. The Eggs Prize is a contest modeled after the X Prize (which was a cash prize of 10 million dollars awarded to the first private team to build a space vehicle traveling to an altitude of 62 miles with 3 passengers and return them to Earth safely). The Eggs Prize requires students to build and launch a water bottle rocket carrying a raw egg as a payload to an altitude of 30 meters, returning the egg unharmed to Earth. Students worked in teams to build their rockets and then launched them this past week at school!
