Join us for the 10th Annual Capital City Pumpkin Drop:

Noon, Thursday, October 18, 2007

Capitol Complex PARKING GARAGE, Charleston, WV

Deadline to Register: October 10, 2007

Since 1998, students from all over West Virginia have used their creativity and math, science and physics know-how to win this skillful competition.

ATTENTION!!!!!!!!!!

The location for Pumpkin Drop has been moved for this year. Due to safety concerns, the Pumpkin Drop will be held at the parking garage at the Capitol Complex.

The Goal: To design an enclosure or apparatus to protect a pumpkin from damage when dropped from the parking garage at the Capitol Complex.

The Challenge: To hit the target on the ground and have the pumpkin stay intact. The surviving pumpkin that lands closest to the target will be the winning classroom entry.

The Pumpkin Drop is judged by the WVU College of Engineering and Mineral Resources. It is sponsored by Bayer CropScience. Cash awards will be presented to the first, second and third place winning schools.
