Have you ever heard of Rube Goldberg? Well he was a creative guy who lived from 1883 to 1970. He was a cartoonist, inventor and (fun fact) is the only person to be listed in the dictionary as an adjective! And now his legacy lives on with a kind of machine named after him. A Rube Goldberg Machine is a contraption that uses a chain reaction to complete a task. It makes something very simple (putting a ball in a basket) very complicated, by using chain reactions.
You can sometimes get Rube Goldberg kits, but it's just as easy to make up a Rube Goldberg machine at home. What could you do? Get a ball to roll off the table, bounce off a tennis racket and land in a garbage can? Creativity is king here.
Here are some links for inspiration.
