Hi!  This Saturday, we'll be conducting a follow-up activity for the middle
school girls who participated in our Adventures in Computers, Engineering,
and Space program.  The girls will be trying to package an egg so that it
doesn't break when dropped from a 3rd story window, while minimizing size
and weight.  If any of you have any odds and ends lying around that would
make good packaging (small boxes, string, balloons, bits of cloth--in case
it occurs to anyone to make a parachute, posterboard--in case anyone wants
to try a glider, "peanuts," etc.) that you'd be willing to let us have,
please let me know.  Thanks for your help!
