READY! STEADY! GO!dberg

General description

Welcome on board, dear Adventurer!

People have been dreaming about inventions ever since they started to think. Hope you’re ready to meet the future, because the topic of our course is too good to simply talk about it. Please welcome - “Goldberg Machine”!

What is it? It's mostly the way of thinking. You can always choose an easy way to achieve your goals, but the way itself could also be a huge achievement!

During the course you will:

-learn how to develop and then make complicated system from simple things;

-model parts of your Goldberg Machine together with your team using 3D printer;

-combine all parts of the puzzle together and present your Goldberg “miracle”.

Trust us, it’s gonna be great work and even more important a huge fun!

Our ship is ready to launch. Jump in!! Destination is wonderful St. Petersburg.

Here in the BEST World power and adventure belong to the Lucid Dreamers, but moreover skillful Engineers! So don’t forget your:

-CAD or 3D modeling working experience;

-inspiration and extraordinary way of thinking;

-desire to explore amazing place of cold weather but warm hearts and super hospital people!

What else? Hmmm.. maybe BEST opportunity of your life!

Don’t be afraid to immerse yourself completely in our mysterious culture and so famous Russian spirit! Venture to meet our lovely LBG and make sure that only the best stereotypes about Russians are true - priceless!!!

We are willing to teach you, entertain and impress. Come here and do the same!
