Science Club Update – The Rise of the Egg-o-nauts!
The Science Club has had a fantastic few weeks, and it’s been wonderful to see a rise in new members joining us — a real sign of growing enthusiasm for science across the school.
Students have been getting hands-on with some fun and fizzy experiments, including making their own slime and bath bombs. The creativity and curiosity they’ve brought to each session has been amazing to see.
But the real buzz at the moment? Our upcoming Egg-o-nauts competition! Inspired by recent news stories celebrating women in space and the cutting-edge design of space capsules, students are now hard at work designing their own protective pods for a very precious passenger — a raw egg! The challenge? To create a capsule that can survive a drop from a height without cracking its cargo.
The designs so far have been incredibly inventive, with students bringing in a brilliant range of materials and ideas. From cushioning systems to aerodynamic shapes, the thought and science behind each one has been genuinely impressive. It’s particularly fantastic to see so many girls getting stuck in, showing brilliant flair for engineering and problem-solving — a true celebration of women in STEM!
The big test day will take place soon and we can’t wait to see whose egg survives the fall. Watch this space for photos and winners!
Well done to all our budding scientists. Keep reaching for the stars!
