About this event

    SEE Science Center is excited to host the “World’s Leading Authority” in Chain Reactions/Rube Goldberg Machines®, New Hampshire’s own Zach Umperovitch. Throughout his weeklong residency, Zach will build a giant Rube Goldberg Machine® across the SEE exhibit floor. The device will take form day by day, section by section, with lots of test runs and tinkering. The event will culminate with a final demonstration of the complete machine at the end of the week. Visitors will be able to watch Zach at work and discover techniques used to design and construct these machines. Families will see physics concepts such as mechanical advantage, conservation of energy and momentum at work in new and fun ways. Kids will witness firsthand that trial and failure are essential parts of the engineering process. The Kickoff to Summer celebration will also include special hands-on activities, and raffles all included with admission.


    This fun-filled event is presented by presenting sponsor Dartmouth Health Children’s and supported by community sponsor, Manchester, NH Rotary Club. Admission to SEE is $14 per person ages 3 and up. SEE is a member of the Museums for All national initiative offering discounted $3 admission and memberships to EBT, WIC and SNAP cardholders.
