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!
In the end all videos will be edited to ONE BIG CROSS BORDER EUROPEAN CHAIN REACTION! (European Chain Reaction 2011 video)

In 2021 the world was struck with the Covid-19 pandemic. Many schools had great dificulties making a chain reaction in the way they wanted. But this extra challenge produced many creative chains! The winner was Estonia with their pandemic machine.
And now in 2022 the project is organised for the twelfth year!!
We would like to find some extra schools to participate, so if your country isn't mentioned on this blog and your primary or kindergarten school wants to join this amazing science competition? Please contact dave@qworzo.be or find us at the eTwinningforum!
To all joining us: have a "sciencerrific experience" and let's all hope the best young Einsteins may win!
