The second part of the project was centered around Rube Goldberg. Each student created an illustration of an imaginative Rube Goldberg machine to do a simple task. Then students worked together to create a Rube Goldberg Robber Trap. Teams were all required to follow certain parameters and utilized the Engineering Design Process to create their machine. We hope you enjoy browsing through these pages and watching videos of their work.
