Chain Reaction (Rube Goldberg)

How complicated can you make a simple task? That is the challenge. Your team designs and builds a wild chain-reaction machine from everyday materials, where every domino, ramp, pulley, and lever has to fire in perfect sequence. Part engineering, part art, part beautiful chaos: this hands-on STEM challenge rewards creativity, problem-solving, and real teamwork. Our hosts guide the build, crank the energy, and count down the big moment when your machine runs start to finish. Equal parts brain-burner and crowd-pleaser, and everyone has a blast watching it all come together.
