Homeschool Academy students got to test their engineering and design skills at the school's annual egg drop.

The school, part of the Lake Pend Oreille School District, is open to homeschooling families with students in grades first through eighth.

The premise of the egg drop is for students to design a mechanism to keep the "brain/skull," also known as the egg yolk and shell, from cracking, teacher Tawny MacDonald said. Students worked in groups to design and build an apparatus that would protect the egg and its contents during the Thursday, Nov. 7, egg drop.
