Jumpy chair 2000

We had the inventor's fair on monday, the boys maid a "jumpy chair 2000" a chair the was ok to jump on, it used a pad/cushion made of non-newtonian fluid (cornstarch and water) that is hard when you jump on it (so it won't break) but is soft and squishy when you sit on it (so it's still comfortable).  They enjoyed it and one of the judges commented that they "should be on myth busters"  so the boys liked that. 

Overall they got 30-40 out of 60 points and 20/20 for their logbook (pictures, plans, etc.), but the mythbusters comment was their favorite :)
