Rube Goldberg 3D Installation

Students will learn about Rube Goldberg an engineer artist tinkerer who always was trying to invent a better "mouse trap". The idea behind this project is for students to use their vivid imaginations and come up with a way to move one object to another or to cause an object to do something by a series of events.  As a member of the arts here at school we are always trying to see how we can incorporate more art into our community.  By giving students time to devote to one big project allowing them to combine disciplinarians into one group project.  This project will have students working as individuals as well as a group: showing leadership, art skills, innovation, physics, math, and the most importantly, imagination. They will invent as a group what the projects end result will be; while coming up with their own ideas for their individual section. This whole puzzle will be done by, drawing and illustrating some portions, and actually making other stations and parts of the puzzle. the end result will be installed on campus so the community can interact and see the results.
