Pinball Machine for The Commons is an innovative pitch competition designed to unleash the creative potential of students by challenging them to design, build, and present their own unique pinball machine concepts using principles of physics learned in the Fall of 2024. This exciting event fosters creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving skills by encouraging participants to combine physics, art, and storytelling into a single engaging project. Students from diverse academic backgrounds are invited to collaborate and push the boundaries of traditional pinball design, integrating cutting-edge technology and sustainable materials. By participating in this competition, students not only gain hands-on experience and practical skills but also have the opportunity to have their pinball machine become a part of school history to be displayed in The Commons for years to come. The winning team of this competition will submit their designs to a pinball manufacturer, who will then create an operable and durable pinball machine. This machine will be displayed next to their prototype, and all proceeds from the machine will be used to fund the school physics department and further research. Whether you're an aspiring engineer, artist, or entrepreneur, Pinball Machine for The Commons is the perfect platform to bring your ideas to life and make a lasting impact in the school's history.
