Rube Goldberg Engineering

Grade levels

1-4

Description

In this engineering class, we'll explore STEAM concepts such as physics, engineering, and design as we build our own wacky, over-the-top contraptions. You’ll learn about forces, motion, and cause-and-effect as we experiment with ramps, pulleys, dominoes, and more to create machines that complete fun challenges. Through hands-on teamwork and creative problem-solving, we’ll put our engineering skills to the test!

Instructor

Kiera Bridley: For the past 10 years, I have worked in various settings with project-based and experiential learning, fostering student leadership in their education. My role is to empower students by providing the resources and guidance they need to succeed. One of my favorite moments is witnessing the "aha" realization when students make meaningful connections between concepts and real-life applications.
