The final creation of a ten-day workshop with Tibetan monks: a chain reaction contraption! Each pair of monks was responsible for their own table, and they had to build a "machine" that would eventually set off the next table.

Highlights include: water being used to complete a circuit; a soccer match between the US and Tibet, an elephant-powered ball-kicking mechanism; hand-made gears; a monk slapping a Chinese [cringe!]; a solar system; a monk being run over by a rickshaw; suicidal penguin switch; the Tibet express bringing Tibetans back to a free country; a rubber-band twang switch; 30 joyful and beautiful monks!
