Mission Brief: Shell Shocked

Core Concepts: Critical Creative Mindset, Practical Problem-Solving and Adaptive Thinking, Innovation and Impact, and Vision and Leadership

Strap in, engineers—this isn’t just another landing. You and your team have been called to save an interstellar pioneer: an intrepid egg-stranaut hurtling toward an uncharted world. The stakes couldn’t be higher.

This alien planet offers no atmosphere—no drag, no parachutes, no second chances. The only thing standing between our fragile scientist and certain disaster is the capsule you design.

Your mission: engineer a capsule tough enough to survive a bone-rattling, high-speed impact. Every choice—materials, structure, shock absorption—will make the difference between a safe landing and a catastrophic crack.

Harness your adaptive thinking, collaborate under pressure, and push the limits of innovation. The countdown has begun… will your design stick the landing, or will the egg-stranaut become cosmic history?
