The European Chain reaction is a European Quality Label winning eTwinning project that was first organised in 2011. The project is a contest and a European collaboration between primary schools from as many as possible European countries. In the contest primary schools compete for the honour and a nice trophy: Which country builds and films the most astonishing and creative Rube Goldberg / Robert Storm Petersen chain reaction? The competing children are the only judges in this game!
The bigger the challenge, the greater the reward! Six groups of students taking part in this amazing project, working together again...
We hope you enjoy our new chain reaction invention as much as we enjoyed making it.
The effort has truly been worth it!
We wish all the teams the very best of luck in the voting!

Hello from Slovenia!
This year we have to admit it was hard to choose from all the toys we prepared for the chain reaction. And not all of them could fit in. We gave our best in a very short time. Enjoy!
Sending you greetings.

Here is our chain reaction.
We had a lot of fun building it. It was the first time for our class but finally we made it, even though the ending wasn't what we hoped for.
We hope you'll enjoy watching it!
Hi all scientists and engineers,
We had a lot of fun building our chain and we hope you enjoy watching it!
We very much look forward to watching all those different Rube Goldberg machines from all over Europe!
Good luck on the voting and please leave us a comment!
Seize the day and enjoy life! ;-)

Hello all!
Here is the chain reaction from Finland!
Does it ever happen in your classes, that the pupils are tired and it's hard to concentrate on mathematics, especially if it's the last lesson of the day?
But luckily you can fall asleep and dream... of a chain reaction!
We hope you'll like our video! We had a lof of fun with it!
Good luck everyone!
We are already way into the new year, but our chain reaction was made before Christmas. So if you still want a bit of Christmas, this will set you in the right mood!
Here´s a musical chain reaction from Casa Nostra Primary School in Banyoles. We hope you enjoy it.
We are later than ever, but here we are!
This year it's the 6th graders at Kallingeskolan who will face the challenge. We hope everyone will enjoy this year's work with the chain reactions!
Merry Christmas to all of you!
Better late than never 🫣. Our group exists of 18 very nice "little humans", age 6 - 7 YO, eager to play indoor and also outdoors. We are hardly waiting to continue with our work on technical chain reaction.
I hope you are going to enjoy working on different paths as much as we are going to.
Wish you all the best and sending you best wishes from Slovenia!

Hello to all the young Einsteins in this fantastic STE(A)M project,
We - the 46 boys and girls from the sixth year of Qworzó, Merksplas, Belgium - would like to introduce ourselves to you via this video about our human chain reaction.
We hope you have lots of fun creating your technical chain reaction!
We wish everyone a very happy Christmas holiday.
Kind regards,
Team Belgium
Hi everybody!
This year, our class chose a special theme to connect all our projects: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. But with a twist. We turned it into our own Factory of Emotions, where every idea and little character comes to life. We love that this eTwinning project is now part of our story.
We’re really happy to be here once again!
Greetings from Lanzarote!
