Caring, Diski & Rube Goldberg!


CBS 2 ran a story at the beginning of the month about a homeless girl in need of a lung transplant. After the story aired, a Chicago businessman stepped up to help. He's offered to pay her rent for a year so she can recover after surgery. Click here to watch the emotional story





Four high school students from Chicago were chosen to travel to South Africa to teach and perform the Diski. South African Tourism chose the students after they performed at a Chicago Fire game to promote the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. The students were performing with the Joffrey Ballet Step-Up Program.

Want to know what the Diski is? Check out this South African Tourism video:





Argonne National Laboratory held its 15th annual Rube Goldberg Machine Contest last week and Maine South High School took home the top prize. Teams had to build a machine that could dispense hand sanitizer in at least 20 steps. The national championships take place at the end of the month at Purdue University.

Speaking of Rube Goldberg Machines, have you seen the latest OK Go music video? It's pretty awesome!
