Rube Goldberg machines are basically complex devices that perform simple tasks through a series of indirect and potentially complex mechanisms (In case you need a visual, here's a video of one).
Each box includes instructions and are meant to be fun and easily transformed while promoting STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) education.
Additionally, you can post a photo/video of your assembled General Mills Cereal machine on Instagram or to the General Mills Cereal Facebook page using hashtags #BreakfastBlueprint and #BigGSweepstakes for a chance to win one of twenty $20,000 college scholarships.
