Chain Reaction Challenge: Build a Rube Goldberg Machine!
Get ready for a two-hour, hands-on engineering adventure where imagination meets motion! This special SPARKGROUNDS event takes place on January 31 from 10:30am to 12:30pm at Celebration's Heritage Hall. Students will design and build their own Rube Goldberg machines—incredible contraptions that perform a simple task through a wildly creative chain reaction of levers, pulleys, dominoes, ramps, and more.
Working in small teams, participants will learn how motion, energy, and timing come together to make their inventions spring to life. Each group will brainstorm a task—like popping a balloon or ringing a bell—and then design a machine that accomplishes it in the most over-the-top, roundabout way possible.
By the end of the session, families will be invited to watch as each team unveils and activates their completed Rube Goldberg machine in a spectacular, laughter-filled showcase of creativity and engineering!
And don’t worry—we’ve got lunch covered to keep their engines running!
All materials and lunch are included. No prior experience needed. This workshop is designed for 3rd through 12th graders. Guardians are required to complete our waiver before the event.
