SciFun Camp: Rube Goldberg Machines


Do you like to know how machines work?  Even our most intricate modern machines boil down to a handful of basic simple devices, such as the lever and pulley.  You encounter these simple machines in your daily lives, such as when you open a car door (lever) to hop in and go for a ride.

On the first day of this multi-day camp, we will learn about all of the simple machines and how to construct them.  From then on, you will use this knowledge to construct a Rube Goldberg Machine.  These contraptions use multiple simple machines chained together to accomplish a task,   and you will work as a team to create a machine to perform a special New Year’s Eve-related task!

For elementary and middle school age learners.

Camp runs from December 27th - December 31st. Drop-off for camps are from 8:30-8:50 (drop off) to 3:30-4:00 (pick-up).

Cost is $200 for members and $250 for non members (Members, please log in to your account and use the discount code previously emailed to you)
