Harris County Public Library
Rube Goldberg Machine
To celebrate "Power Up at Your Library Day" (September 15th, 2016), patrons were invited to use the equipment, supplies and tools in the Innovation Lab to build a giant Rube Goldberg machine. The device was triggered using a Raspberry Pi monitoring Twitter, but most everything else was envisioned, designed and built by patrons on the fly. A video of the contraption in action is available on HCPL's YouTube channel.
