- Mentors are your best asset:
Demo: Goofy's Dream
The Plan
- One humongoloid Rube Goldberg machine
- Each group of 3-4 makes a part of the machine
- All the machines will connect
Intention for the week
- This better be fun!
- There's a presentation at the end: everybody should see our "liquid awesome."
- Practice hands-on engineering and problem solving
Schedule for the Week
- Today: Get cozy and snuggle up with the materials at hand
- Tomorrow, start digging in!
Rules of the Game
- Keep it fun!
- Love everything: the materials, the tools, your team, and us :-)
- If discouraged, it’s OK. Confusion is part of the process. Hang ten, dude.
