As I am currently in quarantine, I am unable to access the necessary materials at the moment to fully explore the possibilities of paper. However, I was able to find numerous videos on the internet on how people do the Egg Drop challenge.

- Wrap the egg around using paper and fix the egg inside of the paper cocoon.
The main idea would be to either slow down the falling of the egg or to create a bottom platform that could fold so that the energy from the egg falling would go into this paper deformation (instead of applying this energy to the egg). Or both:
