Goal: Make a device only using paper and tape that allows you to drop an uncooked egg from a height of 3 meters.
Progress:
Week 1: initial idea: The first idea that comes to my mind is to put the egg in a pyramid-shaped paper box. Then I have a crazy idea about changing the egg into a “sea urchin”.
Sketch:
The original idea is to put the egg into two cones, but then I realize the paper pyramid is too weak to even stand up. So I decided to full it up with paper balls
These are the three models I tried to hold the egg and paper balls.

week 3:
After the failure of protecting the egg last week, I improved my project. The lesson I learned from last time is that the paper balls need to be evenly distributed in the triangular cone.
The quadrangular pyramid I made is as below
