Eggs-cellent Way to learn

I think my group failed because of a few reasons. First of all, the design. We had good ideas for the design, as in we knew what type of design would prevent our egg from breaking, however, the constraints that we had, mainly time and materials, is what impeded our path to success. Due to these constraints, and keeping them in mind, we did the best we could and sadly, it didn't work out the way we thought it would.

Our group went through all of the steps in the Planning Process. We did define our goals and what we were trying to achieve, we identified our resources and the materials that were available to us, we had a back up/alternative design that we would use if at some point we didnt like it or didn't think it would work, we kind of a had a tactical plan as in we knew the steps that we had to take and in which order, and we implemented it accordingly and were able to evaluate our results in the end, when our device did not work. :(

Regarding my team's performance, I personally don't think there was anything lacking. We gave it our best and sadly it didnt work out. As I mentioned before, we didn't fail because we skipped one of the planning process steps. We followed all of them, since they made logical sense. However, where we did fail was the actual design of the device and the materials we had at our disposal. Other than that, our team was great and very cooperative with each other.
