Today, the Library continues its celebration of National Poetry Month with a slam poem performed by the renowned Sarah Kay.  Slam poetry is a type of performance art using the spoken word and performance to communicate stories in an emotional way in front of a live audience.  Take a listen to Sarah Kay perform a "Love Letter From a Toothbrush to the Bicycle Tire" in the audio link here. Puns are used throughout the performance.  As you search beneath the words, what do you hear? Is it about a toothbrush and a bicycle or about young love? Give it a listen and enjoy the spoken word. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIAQENsqcuM

A Rube Goldberg Machine (RGM) is a crazy contraption which accomplishes a simple task in the most complicated and funniest way possible! Based on the “invention” cartoons of the famous, Pulitzer Prize-Winning Cartoonist, Rube Goldberg. His drawings and imagined machines are at the heart of the Rube Goldberg Machine Contest. They use everyday items (mostly junk!), they tell a story, and most important of all — they make you laugh!

What is a Rube Goldberg Machine Contest?

A Rube Goldberg Machine Contest (RGMC) is an event where students of all ages compete with machines that they have imagined, designed and created in a fun and competitive forum. The competitions encourage teamwork and out-of-the-box problem solving, in a fresh learning environment and level playing field. All you need is a good Imagination and a pile of junk!
