Mr. Brown's 6th grade STEM class are recreating experiments by Rube Goldburg.

These students re-created a Rube Goldburg machine by using a track, dominos, car, and Jenga Pieces. Rube Goldburg machines are intentionally designed to perform a simple task in an indirect and overly complicated way. Usually, these machines consist of a series of simple unrelated devices; the action of each triggers the initiation of the next, eventually resulting in achieving a stated goal. The students drew out their designs on paper and now are working on creating them.
