STREAM Challenge!

Rube Goldberg Bar of Soap Video Challenge

Build a Rube Goldberg Machine in 10-20 steps to drop a bar of soap into someone's hands. Three winning teams will be selected for a Rube prize packet! If you want to enter your invention, click on the link below for more detail.

As you build and test, send me pictures!!!

A Rube Goldberg machine solves simple tasks in an over complicated, inefficient, hilarious way. Here’s an example:

You can use, blocks, Legos, Tupperware, toys, or anything else you find around your house. Have fun and be creative! If you don’t have a bar of soap, you can test your invention with a sponge or something else rectangular.
