      Hi Chabbie,

      It’s a shame I can’t draw on here, it would be way easier to explain! Basically the paper rockets are a foundation (like a car chassis) which you can then add bits onto to design a vehicle capable of carrying something like an egg a fair distance, the aim of the project would be to design a vehicle which could transport an egg the furthest distance without breaking the egg, all within time and cost constraints! It would hopefully give those who took part an idea of the type of challenges engineers face, as well as the fun you can have with it
