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 2011 Germany was the outstanding winner of this fun science competition. They made this absolutely amazing video and they learned a lot about pulleys, chains, levers, ...

In 2012 Belgium managed to win the competition by creating this chain reaction!

In 2013 Norway was crowned the ECR-2013 winner as they made this feel-good and up tempo chain reaction!

In 2014 Belgium won the competition for the second time. The pupils created this chain reaction.

Qworzó is an elementary school in a small village called Merksplas which lays about 70 km north of Brussels.

Hungary

Teleki Samuel Elementary School is in Érd, Hungary. Érd is a town about 20 km southwest of Budapest, the capital city of Hungary.

The school was established in 1933. The name, Samuel Teleki comes from a famous Hungarian geographer and explorer who mapped the last white spots of Africa in the 19th century. We have chosen this name in 1991, because the school aims to educate students to become responsible, creative and thoughtful young teenagers. Our school is a member of the Hungarian Eco-School Network. Now there are about 500 students from 1st to 8th grade (6-15 years olds) and 40 teachers.
