Take the simplest task and design the most complex system to accomplish it. That’s the idea behind building a Rube Goldberg machine, which students had the opportunity to do at the Rube Goldbergineering Camps held at ASU’s Polytechnic campus. The camps provided the students with hands-on learning and taught them about engineering, design and teamwork. Left to right: Matthew Dickens, Swaroop Murugesh and TJ Banks work on a device to pop a balloon. Some of the camps had a national and international component, as well, as the local participants collaborated with other programs. See the students in action.

For more information about the lab, contact Dolin at [email protected]
Students in the CTI Academy High Speed Photography Camp have the opportunity to take photos such as this example of stroboscopic photography, which involves having the shutter stay open while firing a high powered strobe numerous times. This demonstrates the concept of image latency as the image continues to build on the same exposure.
