Shout Outs!
AJ and Tait know that a Rube Goldberg machine “makes something simple in a complicated way.” They built a snowman in Minecraft. AJ wrote, “So to build a snowman in Minecraft you need to place just 3 blocks. But we made a flying machine and lots of Redstone wires just to place those 3 blocks. So we overcomplicated it.”
WOW! Yes, you did make it overcomplicated. Watch here:
Ava built a Rube Goldberg machine to water the plants in her yard. She worked with her dad and sister (Mia) on the machine.
Kade, Kingston and DaLilah all worked together to build a machine to turn on the TV. Listen for their excitement when the machine works!

I can explore a new engineer and his creation.
Caine’s Arcade
Meet Caine! He’s 9 years old and loves arcade games. He loves to play them, collect tickets, and get prizes.
Caine thinks like an engineer. He likes to take his toys apart and see how they work.
One day, he decided to build his own arcade game using a cardboard box and items from his house.
Let’s see what he created...
While you watch...
In November of 2017 the 4th and 5th graders built their own arcade using cardboard boxes and items from their homes.
Do you see any friends who are now in middle school?
