2022 Digital Rube Goldberg Machine Minecraft Contest

The 2022 Digital Rube Goldberg Machine Minecraft Contest is a STEAM competition where students from grades 3-12 compete with machines that they have imagined, designed in Minecraft Education Edition, and created in a fun and competitive forum.

The competitions encourage teamwork and out-of-the-box problem-solving in a fresh learning environment and level playing field. This year's challenge is to use Minecraft to build a wacky machine that will Open & Illuminate a Book. 

Through this event, we'll run live streams to help youth learn about the engineering design process as they build their contraptions. Plus, this year’s Digital Rube Goldberg Machine Contest with Minecraft Education Edition is FREE for all teams!

This year's competition is over. Sign up below to get updates for next year's competition!
