We need your help to bring pinball machines to our Clackamas Community College! Here's why it matters:
- Hands-On Learning: Our Electronic Engineering Technology and Microsystems Technology students will learn maintenance and repair skills crucial for their future careers.
- Student Empowerment: This initiative allows students to showcase their technical skills.
- Effective Marketing: The machines will advertise our programs while offering free play, showcasing student expertise.
- Community Atmosphere: Free play in the cafeteria promotes a sense of community among students and staff that helps foster a sense of belonging.
- Support for Clubs: Funds raised will support the new Clackamas Pinball Club, enriching student life.
- Real Job Preparation: Pinball Technician is a sought-after role in the Portland area, providing practical experience for students.
- Engagement for All: Staff and students alike can enjoy the machines during breaks, promoting interaction and fun on campus.
The Clackamas Pinball Project's goal is to own four pinball machines, each from a different era (requiring different skills for maintaining them). Below are the different pinball machines that we are hoping to purchase:
- Electro-Mechanical Machine - early pinball machines, from the 1930s through the late 1970s
- Solid-State Machine - machines from the late 1970s to 1991
- DMD (Dot Matrix Display) - machines from 1991 to 2016
- LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) - from 2016 to present
We invite you to contribute to our fundraiser! All donations will go to the purchase of pinball machines and tools for maintenance and repair.
Your support will make a difference in our students' education and campus experience.
Please contact Casey Sims at 503-594-3186 or caseys@clackamas.edu with any questions. We appreciate your support!
Check out the new machines in the Wacheno Welcome Center! Pinball is free to play, so grab a friend and test your skills.
Our latest trio has something for everyone: Spiderman (2007) brings comic-book chaos and multi-ball excitement, Black Knight 2000 (1989) features retro medieval flair and the legendary Magna-Save, and High Speed (1986) delivers classic ’80s ramp-chasing thrills.
The CCC Pinball Club meets Wednesdays from 12–1 PM by the machines in the cafeteria of the Wacheno Welcome Center — stop by to learn more and join the fun!
Thanks to the generosity of our amazing supporters, the Flip for CCC campaign has had a fantastic start! We’re excited to share that we’ve launched a new page so the community can continue supporting the growth of our pinball program.
Every contribution helps us expand our lineup of machines and acquire the tools needed to keep them running for years to come. Thank you for helping keep pinball flipping at CCC!
