The Rube Goldberg Machine
Ever watch those insane domino effect videos and think, "That's awesome, but way too much work"? What if you can do it on your team building day?
Braver Strides’ “The Rube Goldberg Machine” lets you and your team build crazy contraptions inspired by the wacky inventions of Rube Goldberg! Your goal is to knock over dominoes with a series of mousetraps and a bucket of water.
Here’s what to expect from The Rube Goldberg Machine team activity:
- Think Like an Inventor: Work together to design a chain reaction machine using everyday objects. Think dominoes, mousetraps, and maybe even some office supplies!
- Simple Task, Silly Solution: The goal is to complete a simple task (like knocking over dominoes) in the most overly complicated way possible!
- Teamwork Makes the Dream Work: Communication and problem-solving are key as you build your masterpiece. Embrace experimentation! Sometimes the craziest ideas lead to the most impressive results.
You’ll be provided with the following materials to create this dominoes effect:
- Everyday objects and materials for building machines
- Rube Goldberg machine plans and blueprints
- Connecting materials to link together all mechanisms
“The Rube Goldberg Machine” isn’t just about fun – it’s about teamwork and innovation. You’ll learn to think outside the box, collaborate effectively, and celebrate the joy of seeing your creation come to life! Perfect for engineers, artists, or anyone who loves a good challenge!
