The egg drop challenge is a great STEM activity. There are many ways to build a device that may win in an egg drop challenge. We will cover a very basic way to possibly win. This solution was tested at a 15-foot drop without failure. There are three items needed for this experiment, a large plastic container with a lid, a roll of toilet paper, and a large egg.

The first step is to put a large amount of toilet paper in the bottom of the container to evenly cover the bottom of the container. Then wrap the egg completely in toilet paper so that it has a large diameter. Wrap it so that the egg is about two inches larger than its original size.

Then put the wrapped egg in the container and then pack toilet paper around the wrapped egg, keeping the wrapped egg in the center of the plastic container. Place more toilet paper on top of the wrapped egg, to have it fully protected. Then screw the lid on the container. It is then ready to use.
