A team of Plum Middle School students took top honors in a K’Nex competition last month at Woodland Hills High School.
Plum was among seven schools that participated in the Feb. 18 event hosted by the Eastern Suburbs Special Program Association.
The Plum team consisted of Dylan McIntosh, Charlie Myers, Frank Altieri and Finn McKinley, who applied principles of physics, problem-solving and innovation, demonstrating not only technical skills but also perseverance and collaboration.
The students successfully built a Rube Goldberg machine, a complex machine that performs a simple task in a complicated way. Goldberg was a cartoonist and inventor who included such machines in his cartoons.
