Rube Goldberg Contest at Purdue

0 Comments 07 July 2009

Let’s remake Science Centers, how about this as a model:

“Inspired by cartoonist Rube Goldberg, college students nationwide compete to design a machine that uses the most complex process to complete a simple task – put a stamp on an envelope, screw in a light bulb, make a cup of coffee – in 20 or more steps.

The competition is sponsored by the Purdue University campus chapter of Theta Tau, a professional engineering fraternity.”  – Purdue Website

Every Science Center in the country… in the world, should be doing the same!
