Description:
Students work together as a team to build a Rube Goldberg machine that accomplishes the assigned task. The machine must be made from readily available materials and contain as many simple machine steps as possible, while also being original and exciting.
Eligibility:
Any Homestead High School student
Time Commitment:
Students are expected to attend group meetings and machine build days a couple times a week after school.
Procedure for Joining:
Attend an initial "call out" meeting in the fall after school when announced. If interested, students will come to assigned meetings to help design and build the project. The competition is usually in mid-March. January- March meetings are usually 2 to 3 times a week. Though a member does not need to make every meeting, members should work to make as many meetings as possible.
Activity Period:
August-March
Membership limit:
None. However, if you are not a member in good standing and do not attend meetings and work sessions regularly you might not be invited to attend regional and national competition.
