A powerful Goldberg machine was created at the Tallinn Construction School

During Engineering Week, nine teams at the Tallinn Construction School built a device that triggers a domino effect system using improvised materials.

As part of Engineering Week, the Tallinn Construction School, now known as Techno TLN, hosted an event where nine teams were tasked with building a device from improvisational materials. Each team was given a unique challenge to create a system that would connect from the starting point to the end, illustrating principles of engineering and design.

The initiative was coordinated by Aare Baumer, the head of research and development at the Energy Discovery Centre, who facilitated the event to promote hands-on learning and collaboration among students. The construction of the device, a Goldberg machine, highlighted the innovative spirit of the students and their ability to problem-solve in a team setting, demonstrating the importance of teamwork in engineering disciplines.

This event not only showcased the creativity and technical skills of the students but also aimed to inspire future generations to engage with engineering and technology. By involving students in such practical activities, the Tallinn Construction School emphasizes the significance of experiential learning in the education of aspiring engineers, preparing them for real-world challenges in the field.
