Passover is coming. If you haven’t marked it in your Google calendar yet. That means you have to start preparing for it soon–if you have young kids, this also means you’re probably trying to figure out a creative way to tell the Passover story to your children without boring them too much.
Well, now you don’t have to worry too much, because Israeli students at Technion have found a creative and fun way to tell the Passover story–and it’s interactive, which is sure to grab your kid’s attention. The engineering students created a Rube Goldberg Machine, which simulates the series of events.
