Workshop for building a Rube Goldberg chain-reaction machine at the Yehud-Monosson Makers Lab. The activity lasts about two hours and is intended for adults, youth, and adult-and-child pairs.
The goal of the activity is experiential and hands-on learning, creativity, an introduction to physics, teamwork, and thinking outside the box. We will suggest ideas, experiment, make mistakes, and most of all have lots of fun. For adults, youth (16+), or an adult and child (6+).
You are invited to a workshop for building a chain-reaction machine—a Rube Goldberg machine.
A “Rube Goldberg machine” is the name given to a very complicated system, made up of many parts that are sometimes very different in nature, which carries out a lengthy process, step by step, in a chain reaction, in order ultimately to perform a simple action. The goal of the activity is experiential and hands-on learning, creativity, an introduction to physics, teamwork, and thinking outside the box. We will suggest ideas, experiment, make mistakes, and most of all have lots of fun.
For adults, youth (16+), or an adult and child (6+). No prior knowledge required.
Workshop duration: Approximately two hours.
Cost: 170 NIS per pair (or adult and child)
Price for residents of Yehud: 130 NIS per pair (or adult and child)
