ON SITE: Rube Goldberg Machine Workshop

  • Museum Address 100 Playland Parkway Rye, NY, 10580 (map)

Do you love to invent and create new contraptions out of ordinary objects? Do you like to laugh and be silly? In this engineering workshop, you will learn all about combining simple machines parts as you design a Rube Goldberg machine. Rube Goldberg was a Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist born in 1883 whose goal was always to make people laugh. His machines are different from regular chain reaction machines because they incorporate HUMOR. In this workshop, you might design a machine to catch a mouse, blow up a balloon, or maybe even to pour a glass of water! Come join us for some comical and innovative fun. This workshop is for children 7 and up.

SOLD OUT.
