Watch 4-H Engineering Design Challenge teams complete a fun two-step challenge with a Rube Goldberg™-style machine.
This exciting statewide event invites youth in grades 3 and up to join a team of three or more to design and build a Rube Goldberg™-style machine to complete a new themed challenge each year. Along the way, youth will build skills in creativity, collaboration, communication and critical thinking as they bring their engineering ideas to life.
