STEAM Labs ™
Grades 7-8
Look, Mom! No hands! Have you ever witnessed a machine that requires 20 mechanical movements to crack an egg into a hot skillet? These creative, Rube Goldberg-style contraptions use everyday objects and micro-technology to construct what GER2I calls STEAM Machines (i.e., chain reaction machines that run on STEM and Art concepts). Use systems thinking, multi-team collaboration, and the engineering design process and explore pathways to engineering careers.
