On Friday, June 10, 2022, the Final of the 2nd National Construction Competition entitled "Physics in Motion" was held at IMP PAS. This time, the aim of the contest was to build a prototype of a capsule (with an egg on the board), which, when thrown from a height of approx. 7 m, will cover the greatest possible distance and will protect the unique "passenger" from damage after falling to the ground.

More than 30 teams from different regions of Poland took part in the close competition. The winners of the contest were: Powiatowy Zespół Szkół in Bieruniu (1st place), CLVII LO im. Marii Skłodowskiej-Curie from Warsaw (2nd place), and III LO im. Agnieszki Osieckiej in Sopot (3rd place).

We would like to thank all participants for their commitment and participation in the competition, and the organizers for its efficient conducting. Separate thanks are due to the Ministry of Education and Science for supporting this form of education and popularizing science (SONP/SP/513407/2021).

Thanks to the commitment and passion of students, their teachers and other people, this unique form of learning through play allowed the participants not only to use the knowledge gained so far in the field of physics, but also to introduce their own solutions, which allowed them to meet this difficult challenge with great ingenuity and creativity.
