Alcott Children’s Program - Rube Goldberg Workshops (4th grade): Rube Goldberg was an American cartoonist, sculptor, author, engineer, and inventor. He’s best known for his popular cartoons depicting complicated gadgets performing simple tasks in indirect, convoluted ways. The 4th graders, led by guest educator Kristin White, created and performed for the class their own chain reaction using kits of materials. The workshop incorporated problem solving, cooperative work, and creating a system demonstrating the flow of energy. The book, “Just Like Rube Goldberg: The Incredible True Story of the Man Behind the Machines” was donated to the Alcott library. Thank you for allowing us to bring this program to Alcott through your support of the PTG!
