Regional Rube Goldberg Machine Contest®
What is this year’s task?
This year’s task is to Turn off a Light! #RGMC2020 #TurnOffALight #RGMC
A Rube Goldberg Machine Contest (RGMC) is an event where students of all ages compete with the machines they have imagined, designed and created in a fun and competitive forum. The competitions encourage teamwork and out-of-the-box problem solving, in a fresh learning environment and level playing field. Remember, to compete in an RGMC all you need is a pile of junk and a great imagination!
We can't wait to see what you come up with!
Please check back to this page for any updates regarding our local competition.
