2025 Digital Rube Goldberg Machine Minecraft Contest: Feed A Pet

The Digital Rube Goldberg Machine Contest is a STEAM competition where students compete with machines that they have imagined, designed in Minecraft, 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.Ā This year's challenge is to use Minecraft to build a wacky machine that willĀ Feed A Pet.
