Build Your Own Chain Reaction Machines

October 16, 2018 by Shellie Wilson

Build Your Own Chain Reaction Machines by Paul Long- Be inspired by the amazing artwork of renowned cartoonist, engineer, and inventor Rube Goldberg, whose wacky, imagined machines accomplished tasks by taking the most complicated route possible. In this entertaining and instructive book, mechanical engineer and educator Paul Long gives instructions for making devices using ordinary objects in ingenious ways.

Hand on construction really is kids play, but think about all the times you stuck tubes and boxes together as a kid, Well this is the same thing, but on a whole new STEM level.
