Impractically Practical Perpetual Presentation Delivery Device

Project

Essential Question:
Throughout human history, how have major discoveries and inventions in science and mathematics
impacted humanity?

Project Description:
In this cross curricular project students will be looking at the essential question, How have major discoveries and
inventions in science and mathematics shaped our modern world? Inspired by Rube Goldberg, we will be using
modern technology, to design and fabricate a complex interconnected machine installation, which presents these
major historical events in unique ways.
