Rube Goldberg contest set for Feb. 24

Students will use their imagination

(BATESVILLE, Ind.) – Genesis: Pathways to Success will host their annual Rube Goldberg Machine Contest at Batesville High School on Saturday, February 24. 

The competition welcomes students of all ages to use their imagination to design and create machines. 

Students will be tasked with a project to “Put Toothpaste on a Toothbrush” with a minimum of 15 steps and a maximum of 75 steps.

“The seemingly simple act of putting toothpaste on a toothbrush will become a canvas for these young minds to showcase their ingenuity and problem-solving skills. We are eagerly anticipating these inventive solutions that will illustrate once again that there’s no limit to what can be achieved when creativity takes center stage,” said Clarice Patterson, Director of Genesis: Pathways to Success.

Some local schools participating include Batesville Middle School, Jac-Cen-Del Elementary, St. Louis School, Batesville High School, Oldenburg Academy, and Jac-Cen-Del High School. 

The public is encouraged to attend and support the students. It begins at 10:30 a.m. and is free to attend.
