Rube Goldberg® Miracle Machines™

Featuring levers, pulleys, slides, and switches for kids to manipulate, Rube Goldberg Miracle Machines add a touch of whimsy to any playground. These elaborate play panels are designed to thrill and engage the senses for everyone ages 2 and up (CSA 18months+), helping to develop cognitive and fine motor skills as well as provide insights into cause- and-effect relationships.

To make this series of mechanical chain reaction play panels, Miracle® Recreation collaborated with The Rube Goldberg® Institute for Innovation & Creativity, a family-run, nonprofit organization that uses the legacy of its namesake to promote equity and access in STEM and STEAM education. A Rube Goldberg Machine® is a delightfully over-complicated contraption that completes a simple task in the silliest way possible.
