Moving 4th into Engineering

The College of Engineering hosts Moving 4th Into Engineering for fourth graders during the Fall semester. These virtual sessions are designed to get 4th graders excited about Engineering concepts.

Over the course of four weeks, groups of 4th grade students will work with undergraduates from CMU’s College of Engineering to learn about the variety of engineering principles that go into the process of building Rube Goldberg machines. These machines will be constructed using an assortment of household items in conjunction with some supplies that will be provided in mailed kits. All attendees will build their machines at home during the first three virtual sessions, with the final week being reserved for a celebration of everyone's hard work, featuring videos of the homemade Rube Goldberg machines in action.
