Twelve locally-built, elaborately complicated, award-winning machines linked to, then triggered, a kinetic sculpture built by local artist Jim Merz.  Teams comprised of home school students, families, business people, and friends were joined by a crowd of over 500 to celebrate creative tinkering!<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday April 24, 2010, teams of 4-6 people will assemble in the Great Hall of the Allen County Public Library downtown in order to put their ingenuity to the test.  Teams will join their individual &#8220;Links&#8221; to form Fort Wayne&#8217;s third-annual Community Chain Reaction.<\/p>\n<p>People of all ages are welcome to participate either by forming a team or by coming to view these one-of-a-kind contraptions combining creativity, imagination, teamwork, and just plain fun.<\/p>\n<p>To encourage participation, all are invited to attend a free informational workshop at the downtown library on Saturday, March 20 from 2pm &#8211; 4pm.  A sample link will be demonstrated and construction ideas discussed.<\/p>\n<p>A minimal $20 advance registration fee for a team of four up to $30 for a team of six must accompany registration forms.  Space is limited to 20 Links so teams must register early!<\/p>\n<p>Awards will be given to the teams with the most complex Link in the Chain, the Link using the most recycled objects, and the People&#8217;s Choice Award, among others.<\/p>\n<p>The TekVenture Chain Reaction Challenge is a continuing &#8220;coming out party&#8221; for TekVenture and we ask the public to help us make it a reality.  Contributions of time, materials, and sponsorship are being sought in order to offer the Chain Reaction Challenge at a minimum cost to participants.<br \/>\nWe again challenge the community to help us build TekVenture, a destination for programming like the Chain Reaction Challenge, and for people who want to engage tools, materials, media and mentors to give form to their great ideas!<\/p>\n<p>Visit www.TekVenture.org to learn more about TekVenture, Inc., to register a team for the TekVenture Chain Reaction Challenge 3, to sponsor, or to get involved in some other way.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Download the flyer &#8211; Photos from last year&#8217;s event<\/p>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/acpl\/95756.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Rock the Plaza on the east side of the Allen County Public Library&#039;s Main Branch.
