Chain Reactions is a collaborative experience. You work mostly within your small group.

Independent of each other, each small group builds a contraption investigating cause and effect. Each “machine” consists of a sequence of events, commonly referred to as a Rube Goldberg machine. It gets interesting when all the machines in the room are linked. Each machine sets off another’s group’s machine, culminating in a performance in which the whole room comes to life.

Children under age 8 are welcome with parent/guardian supervision. All participants between ages 8 and 15 must attend with a responsible adult. All adults are welcome to participate.
