During the summer of 2015, story booth and artist Yvonne Bobo hosted and facilitated a workshop to create a Rube Goldberg Machine: a contraption, invention, device or apparatus that is a machine deliberately over-engineered to perform a very simple task in a very complicated fashion, including a chain reaction. This workshop was a hands-on opportunity for young people to use science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics to create an interactive sculpture on display at an opening exhibition for the entire community to celebrate. At the opening exhibition, all participants were officially recognized and certified for their accomplishments in “Engineering the Ridiculous.
