Steam Eduation Workshop @ Sioux Technologies

Last week we had the tremendous joy of bringing one of our Steam Education workshops (using LEGO Technic) to Sioux Technologies in Eindhoven, The Netherlands. Sioux is a strategic high-tech solutions provider that develops, innovates and assembles complex high-tech systems. A perfect audience for introducing to the wonderful world of Great Ball Contraptions!
Employees and their children where invited to participate and with over 150 registrations there was for sure enough interest.

We design complex alternative builds from existing LEGO sets. So it is really easy to get started and yet provide challenges. This requires thinking outside the box which makes our workshops unique.

One group build our latest GBC 53 Marble Music Machine while another group worked on our GBC 28 Pneumatic Scissor Elevator. Both unique in their own way using very different technologies, like pneumatics, mechanics and software! As a team we guided them on how to split the big machines into submodules and how to work together on it.

After a full day of building we ended up with 17 times the GBC 53 Marble Music Machines and 8 times the GBC 28 Pneumatic Scissor Elevator! It was a great day with amazing results and the aftermovie speaks for itself.

Thanks to Sioux Technologies and all their awesome master builders! It was an absolute joy!

 

 

 

ToyPro reviews the GBC 58 Dump ‘n’ Drop

All round LEGO parts seller ToyPro build and tested our latest free GBC 58 Dump ‘n’ Drop with great success. It is build from the LEGO 42167 Mack® LR Electric Garbage Truck and the fact that this Great Ball Contraption can be build from such a small LEGO set is really cool!

You can read the full article on their website, and while you are there, you can also get the LEGO set yourself from them.
