The TekVenture Chain Reaction Challenge is an introduction to TekVenture, a community-built, public art & technology laboratory. Since TekVenture doesn't have an official home as yet, the Chain Reaction Challenge was created to help demonstrate a dream for the community.

People of all ages and experiences are invited to create a machine or "link" in this third-annual community chain reaction. Work alone or gather a group of friends; build a contraption that fits on one 6-foot table and has an energy input and output that can lift a golf ball 1-inch; and enjoy the fun. Your contraption will pull the string to start the next contraption. Then we'll connect the links together to make one large chain Reaction! No fire or dangerous chemistry allowed.
