Egg Drop

The Egg Drop is another long-standing MLC tradition. Students (and staff) of all ages are invited to submit contraptions invented to keep an egg protected in the three-story drop from the roof of the building. Ten lucky students and a few staff members coordinate the event roofside, while a couple of students emcee. The whole school comes outside to the staff parking lot to watch the crazy contraptions fly off of the roof. If the egg breaks, the student rings a bell; if it's still intact, they honk the horn (of course, we switch it up every now and again--sometimes it's vice versa). It's a great spring activity to get everyone outside for an afternoon, and teaches everybody a little something about physics in the process.
