Ripley County Engineering Academy Places
Second in National Rube Goldberg Award
The Ripley County Engi-
neering Academy (RCEA),
Division II winner of the
Regional Rube Goldberg Ma-
chine Contest, tied for second
place at the 2018 National
Rube Goldberg Machine
Contest at the Museum of Sci-
ence and Industry in Chicago.
The task for the 30 th Anniver-
sary Rube Goldberg Machine
Contest was to “Pour a Bowl
of Cereal.”
“I was very impressed by
the way in which this team
worked together to over-
come challenges and excel at
Nationals,” Cheryll Obendorf,
GPS executive director, said.
“This team was the only team
in the National Contest to
achieve a perfect technical
score of 100, which catapulted
them to the top tier. Everyone
in our area should be very
proud of this team.”
Placing second in the nation in the Rube Goldberg Ma-
chine Contest Bradley Martini, Rebekah Dodge, Kara
Merkel, Landon Ledford, Tyler Klein, Jackson Douglas,
Seth Pohle, Jacob Simon, and Dylan Swinney
The 2018 National Rube
Goldberg Machine Con-
test featured 40 teams from
around the nation. Teams
were challenged to make the
simple act of pouring a bowl
of cereal comical and very
complicated. RCEA’s “Cereal
Factory” themed machine
included over seventy steps,
colorful artwork, an interac-
tive presentation, and the
successful pouring of milk
and cereal.
“It was a very different task
than anything we’ve ever
done especially because we
were pouring milk,” com-
mented Rebekah Dodge, team
captain. “It was pretty amaz-
ing to see a bunch of people
with the same interests sup-
porting each other and having
our machine come together
for this moment.”
The first national Rube
Goldberg Machine Contest
was launched in 1988.
“I look at this as being
even bigger than STEM,”
commented Jennifer George,
granddaughter of Rube
Goldberg. “It’s teamwork. It’s
trial and error. The kids are
amazing. The machines are
fantastic. It’s like Halloween
meets the Science room. It’s a
marvelous thing to watch!”
