Year 8 STEM

How do you Rube Goldberg

Rube Goldberg was an inventor, cartoonist and writer but he is most famously known as the brains behind the board game Mouse Trap. As part of their studies into simple and complex machines, the Year 8 STEM class have designed, tested and refined their own Rube Goldberg machines. After many domino falls, resetting of jenga blocks and repositioning of ramps, they have finally had the chance to show off their creations. 

This project took a lot of patience but it was worth the effort to get the table tennis ball in the cup.
