Goldberg Scholastics is a competition hosted by the Society of Manufacturing Engineers in De Lasalle University aimed at bringing out students' creative thinking in the aspect of engineering design. In the process of developing their own Rube Goldberg Machine, it is also hoped that the students gain interest in taking an engineering course in the future.

In 2009, a pilot competition was held between a few groups of high school students. These students rose to the challenge admirably. This year, SME intends to reach further and initiate a national competition.

There will be two elimination legs for this competition:

1. February 13, 2010 at SM Cubao - LUZON high schools
   
2. February 20, 2010 at SM City Cebu - VISAYAS AND MINDANAO high schools
   

DEADLINE for confirmation forms is on January 29, 2010.

Hurry! The earlier you get to prepare, the more time you have to building an outstanding machine!
