Structures & Mechanisms: Children embark on an exciting journey into the whimsical world of Rube Goldberg! Inspired by the ingenious designs of Rube Goldberg himself, whose whimsical cartoons showcased elaborate gadgets performing seemingly mundane tasks in the most convoluted and entertaining ways, young participants will channel their creativity and ingenuity to design, draft, and construct their own whimsical creations.
In this dynamic program, budding engineers dive headfirst into the fundamentals of "6 simple machines" to construct their own design. From levers to pulleys, inclined planes to wheels and axles, children will delight in exploring the basic principles of engineering as they bring their imaginative visions to life.
With each twist, turn, and carefully placed component, they'll discover the thrill of problem-solving and the joy of seeing their creations come to life. Join us for "A Simple Task," where the only limit is your imagination.
