An Eggs-cellent Way to Plan

That was probably one of the more fun classes of any type I have had while attending any school. It wasn't an easy task to handle though. When looking at the different Steps in the Planning Process I can see that we had completed or used them all in one way or another. The goals and objective were defined for us already when we received the assignment so that was easy. Next we had to evaluate our resources which again was assigned to us so it was really to difficult a task. We were told we would have 9 straws and 2 feet of tape with the 1 egg. Next we started to talk about different ideas for how to accomplish the task of dropping the eggs without it falling. A lot of different ideas were thrown around like creating a nest underneath it, trying to lower it by taping the straws together so it didn't have a far fall, creating a kind of cage around it so the straws would divert all the impact around the egg and some others. We ended up choosing to create the cage type scenario hoping it would work. Once we chose that we drew out a sketch so we had an idea of what to do and when it came time to implement is when it got difficult. There were so many hands all over the place and the 10 minutes felt more like 5. We were able to complete the design but it didn't look as good as we had hoped nor did it work as good as we hoped because it cracked. Overall I feel like our teams performance was pretty good considering we did have a plan that we had thought out. The implementing could have been a little better, I think if we would have implemented our plan a little more efficiently rather then scrambling to get it done, it could have worked. The crack on the egg was so small.
