SciFun Camp -Engineering: 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 task!
For elementary school ages
