2024 Digital Rube Goldberg Machine Minecraft Contest
The 2024 Digital Rube Goldberg Machine Contest is a STEAM competition where students (including K-12 and collegiate) 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. As always, the digital challenge mirrors the analog event. This year's challenge is to use Minecraft to build a wacky machine that will put toothpaste on a toothbrush.
There will be three divisions students can compete in; Junior (8-13 years old), Senior (13-18 years old), and Collegiate (18+ years old). Plus, this year’s Digital Rube Goldberg Machine Contest is being offered in Minecraft Education Edition FREE for all teams!
