Egg Drop Challenge

The Ultimate Summer Reading Program Egg Drop Challenge!

Can your egg survive a plunge from the sky? Put your engineering, problem-solving, and physics skills to the test at the WSMR Post Library’s Egg Drop Challenge! This exciting event is part of the 2026 DOD MWR Libraries Summer Reading Program and is open to kids and creative minds of all ages.

The library will provide a wide variety of mystery building materials. Your mission?
