So, last week in my blog, I admitted (again) to being a Sci-Fi geek. But...did you know that I am also a Rube Goldberg Machine aficionado? I LOVE them!! So, imagine my unbridled joy at getting an email from Hadas Shafir Shekhter, the Marketing Director at the Israel's premiere technical university - The Technion - all about a Rube Goldberg Machine challenge!
It seems that the Technion is sponsoring their first ever TECHNION JEWISH DAY SCHOOL CHALLENGE! The task is to build your own Rube Goldberg machine, in the spirit of Pesach. First place wins a state-of-the-art 3D printer for their school and second place is a set of Arduino kits for your entire science class. (https://ravsak.org/technionchallenge)
Here is their launch video
So, don't "pass-over" this opportunity to engage your students AND WIN!!
But, before you start designing, you MUST watch this video on the Rube Goldberg machine that Technion students made for Pesach last year...
As always, your comments are solicited on the blogsite.
