The Rube Goldberg Miracle Machines Playground Contest
About the Contest
In collaboration with Miracle Recreation, students and designers can submit their detailed design pitch decks in the hopes the playground equipment of your dreams will actually be built! This contest serves as the first of a three-phase implementation plan, whereby the winning designs will move to the next phase for community approval and eventual construction. To create the perfect playground, a designer must balance creativity, inclusivity, and functionality all in an open outdoor public space. Not to mention, your playground should of course be Rube Goldberg-themed to inspire children to explore the world of STEM learning!
Phase 1 of the competition is now closed. Stay tuned for the contest winners and for info about Phase 2.
