| The QCMS Team GEMS finished 3rd Place at the recently concluded Rube Goldberg STEAM Machine Competition held at ASU Polytechnic Campus. Aside from the cool 3rd place trophy, the GEMS also grabbed the "Arts" gear award for best representation of the storyline (Twisted Tales: Jack & Jill in Metroville) into the machine. It was an awesome showcase of the QCMS' 'engineers' problem solving ability and teamwork as they put together the machine they previously designed and built at QCMS and later transported to the competition site. It was cool seeing the families there showing support for the boys. Congratulations, Team GEMS! We are all proud of you! This is the first statewide competition hosted by ASU Assistant Professor, Engr Shawn Jordan, a previous Guinness World record holder of a Rube Goldberg Machine step counts (2006), while at Purdue University pursuing an Engineering degree where his team won 2 years in a row (2005-2006). He currently coordinates the STEAM program at ASU College of Engineering. Dr Jordan is also the Educational Outreach Director for Rube Goldberg International .
