STEAM

What do you think are the top 20 inventions from the 20th century?

I ask you this because this term in STEAM we are being given the opportunity to express all of our ideas in the form of a Rube Goldberg Machine. The aim of the machine is to complete a simple task like turning a fan on or pouring milk through a long process full of different stages that can include simple pulleys or a long line of dominoes. However, there is a twist to the construction of the machine. Each group has to include twenty inventions from the 20th century, fifteen of which need to be essential for the machine’s ability to function and five which add to the machine’s aesthetic side.

At this point in time each group has only began to integrate their many ideas into their machine and still have a long, fun and challenging way to go.
