Students in grades 1-8th (students are grouped by age to work on their projects) are invited to design & build a ridiculous, multi-step ‘machine’ to perform one simple task. The machines will compete in the Rube Goldberg Challenge in April, at the Central Columbia Elementary School. The club will also compete in online challenges from the Rube Goldberg Institute.

Museum teams will meet each 2nd and 4th Friday of the month starting February 28th, 2025. from 4:30-5:30pm, to create all sorts of crazy contraptions for the competitions – and just for fun! Rube Goldberg promotes STEM concepts and teaches hands-on physics of ‘simple machines’ using humor & scientific persistence.
