Team Building

The Whitney Relay is a set of interconnectable parts that lets students master the art and science of energy transfer in the tradition of the Rube Goldberg Machine or its contemporary Japanese masterpiece: the Pythagoras Switch. Each student receives ramps,  marbles, blocks, and assorted parts to construct a chain reaction that could include your whole class—thoughtful lessons in mechanics, invention, and teamwork. 

This project spans the ages and is a popular program for Adult Professional Development groups. We can use it as a hands-on means to teach a variety of concepts.
