Rube Goldberg was an artist and engineer. He spent his whole life trying to show how art and science can be combined! He was best known for creating sketches of elaborate chain reaction that would complete a simple task. For instance, a series of pulleys that hit dominoes, that make a car move that turns on the switch for a fan. Today, you'll get to engineer your own chain reactions to help you complete a simple task!
Activity best for children ages 3 and up (with adult supervision!)
