Rube Goldberg Contraption Challenge


A Great Way to Spend Spring Break


The Middle School students had a great time designing and building a Rube Goldberg contraption last year so when I saw this challenge I thought it would be perfect to pass along to our families.  



Rube Goldberg was an engineer who became a cartoonist and his cartoons often included complicated contraptions to do simple tasks.

The contraptions used every day items found around the house making them perfect for this Spring Break.

The link in the graphic above does not work.  Here is the video.

You can find more videos at Rube Tube

You can also build virtual contraptions with the Rube Works App.


If you build a contraption (to enter or just for fun) please email me a picture or a video.  I would love to see them.  Have fun!
