HEY KIDS!!

It is time for the ENGINEER IN THE CLASSROOM and the RUBE GOLDBERG Showcase!!

This year the ENGINEER IN THE CLASSROOM Project is heading into over 40 - 5th grade classrooms!

We are studyingthe basic principles ,fields of engineering and practicing some of the skills used in Engineering.

What on earth is a Rube Goldberg?

We will be learning all about the man behind a Rube Goldberg Machine!

We will be designing and constructing a Rube Goldberg Machine and it needs A LOT OF JUNK!

Scour your house for all the JUNK that you can find.

Your class’s RUBE will be judged against all the other 5th grades participating!

Be PREPARED to WORK HARD and HAVE FUN!

GOOD LUCK!

BRING STUFF!!!!!

Search through your room, house and garage. Just about any old junk will do

BUT ALWAYS CHECK WITH YOUR PARENTS FIRST!!!!!

This list can be extended, but judgment by the teacher and the engineer should be used.

There should be NO valuables used, i.e. grandpa’s retirement watch, money, real gold, antiques, etc.

The EITC Board, Schools, and Venue site will not be responsible for those items.
