Rube Goldberg Machine Contest
The Rube Goldberg Machine Contest (RGMC) was created in the spirit of Rube Lucius Goldberg’s wacky illustrations. Today, “Rube Goldberg” is an adjective used to describe an overly complicated effort to accomplish a particular goal.
A Rube Goldberg machine is an overly complex contraption designed to accomplish a simple task. The best Rube Goldberg Machines emulate their namesake—using a variety of every-day items in a whimsical way to create a series of chain-reaction steps to accomplish a simple task. This year’s simple task is “Zip a Zipper.”
There are two sessions of the RGMC. The first session, for high school students, is from 7:30 am-11:30 am. The second session, for middle school aged students, is from 11:30 am – 2:30 pm.
