PLAYFUL ENGINEERS: RUBE GOLDBERG MACHINE WORKSHOP
Artist/Educator Jay Mankita guides and
inspires kids to construct delightfully complicated contraptions that
accomplish simple tasks. Jay supplies dominos, popsicle sticks, magnets,
rubber bands, string, balls, marbles, etc…, set up includes Jay’s basic
table and floor-based templates as well as some pre-constructed
machines for kids to study and play with, with plenty of opportunities
for making, and learning from, their own mistakes. Goofy fun, and real
engineering, with a bit of Rube Goldberg history thrown into the mix.
