Renate Jobst, an extension educator for the Purdue Extension Agency, facilitated a workshop for the Perry Central Lights-On program recently.

In the workshop, Jobst had groups of students wrap an egg with tape and straws. After a certain time, she stood on a chair and dropped the egg to see if the groups had protected their egg with the material given. The students then talked about theory, hypotheses and probability. Pictured with Jobst are Mallory Goffinet, Jaylynn Bryant, Emily Trammell, Wyatt Edwards, J.T. Smith, Ryan Thompson and Lena Rounds.
