Engineering with Paper: Making Rube Goldberg Machines

Engineering with Paper:  Making Rube Goldberg Machines

Using just paper, tape and scissors, you will learn how to guide students in building their own tabletop Rube Goldberg Machines. This hands-on workshop explores simple and open-ended approaches to incorporating Rube Goldberg Machines into your curriculum, from creating mechanisms to troubleshooting challenges. Unleash creative possibilities while also learning how to re-use and up-cycle supplies you already have. Please have printer paper or magazine pages, tape and scissors available. Manila folders and cereal box type cardboard is also useful if you have it available.
