Sometime in the spring, Ben was again asked to mentor a team for the Rube Goldberg contest. The point is to teach the Junior physics students some real-world applications of basic machines and energy. My role was to buy lunch. Yay!

Since their Physics teacher is recently engaged their challenge was to pair and little bride and groom doll at the end of the machine, having moved the groom at least 10 feet. These girls were creative and proactive problem solvers and did a great job, their machine worked great--except the one time they had to demo for the judges! More real world stuff!
