Grier's Team Takes 3rd Place in National Rube-Goldberg Contest!

Grier competed against schools from across the nation in an online Rube-Goldberg contest and took 3rd place in the High School Division. For this contest, the Grier team, called "The Internationals," created a comically absurd  machine that opens an umbrella in 42 steps.
Grier describes their machine, "Our international theme is designed around 5 continents. We are first in Asia where we travel down Mt. Fuji and the Great Wall of China. It enters the Pyramids of Egypt (Aftrica) where it ends with a giraffe going down a cart and entering Australia. Australia creates a way into Europe which ends with North America pulling a boot to open up the umbrella."
