Zach recently completed a Rube Goldberg Machine for a school project. Although I knew about such a “machine” I didn’t know what it was called. For those who are like me, here’s the definition: ” … a machine intentionally designed to perform a simple task in an indirect and overly complicated way.”
The objective of the project was to create a machine that accomplishes one task, but Zach’s machine accomplished three tasks. I filmed the project and edited into a short video submission. It’s not the best editing job, but gets the idea across well enough that Zach’s teacher asked to keep the video as an example for future students.
