Students prepare for egg launch

High school students from six schools around Indiana will participate in the fourth annual Iron Egg Launch competition at 9 a.m.

Each high school team made an egg launcher and protective egg container for the event, which is hosted by Ball State University and Purdue University College of Technology-Anderson/Muncie, according to the press release.

The launch will take place on the athletic field across from Ball Memorial Hospital.

"The eggs must survive three flights directed toward a bull's-eye 25 meters from the launch pad," the release said.

University officials and business members from the community will judge the teams for accuracy, scientific calculations, cost of materials and egg survival, the statement said.
