Making simple machines not-so-simple. We are creating Mini Golf holes out of our Rube Goldberg Machines. The machines do a simple task in a complicated way. Built out of donated supplies and taking months of work by our students, the machines will be up and running on June 12th and we would love to have you join us. This blog is for students to post to it and reflect upon their progress and their setbacks while building the machine.

Emily, Annika, & Hilary's Machine
After a lot of planning, today we started setting up. We tried out the ramp to see how well it worked. Our initial plan was to have the car knock over the book and land on the switch. But after a lot of trials we realized that the book falling over wasn't very reliable. We decided it might be better to get rid of the book and try a different approach. We have a lot of ideas and we're just starting to put them together piece by piece. We have a long way to go but everything seems to be coming together.
