So Evie's Favorite Show is Mythbusters. We normally DVR them for her as we watch them ahead of time to make sure that there isn't any questionable or inappropriate content (like the sobering up episodes). Before Christmas, there was a special and the guys decided to build a Rube Goldberg Machine. We are big Rube Goldberg fans in this house and have spend several hours watching You Tube Videos. We are even planning a family trip up to Purdue when the state wide competition occurs this spring. Anyway, this first video is the the machine made on Mythbusters.
Evie decide that she wanted to build one in the basement. This kept her busy for almost an entire day. It was great because I was also sick with a cold that day and she was pretty much out of my hair. I did place three rules: 1. you have to use your toys 2. no pop explosions and 3. don't set the carpet on fire. Pretty simple. This is what she came up with all on her own. I think if she would have the patience, it would work without any outside assistance, but as you can see, she was well on her way.
We are wondering if we can submit this with her college application in 12 years????
