Google has just launched a global science fair initiative to help encourage young kids to get involved with science and engineering. Syyn Labs spent the last few months helping to create some of the promotional materials for the campaign including a Rube Goldberg Machine made out of science projects (embedded below) and an RGM that was executed live today at the launch! It completed without a hitch so we can all rest easy now.

My contributions were the laser table, the Lego hands typing on the computer and the low voltage electronics and programming for the live machine. Thanks to Adam Sadowsky for Lego hand programming, Jeanette Weinstein for Lego finger making and Adam Croston for Lego hand enhancements.
The live event video is here.
