Roller Coaster Project (x15 projects)

$245.00

Students will apply principles of physics, motion, and energy transformation to design, construct, and test a functioning roller coaster using straws and a foam board base. Set in the imaginative city of STIIX-Ville, students are hired to create a thrilling new ride for a theme park currently under development.🏗️

Through this challenge, students will explore the conversion of potential to kinetic energy, momentum, and track design while documenting their engineering process and analyzing the performance of their coaster.😁🎢

Although this specific project is not on there, check out our optional Augmented Reality app, STIIXVille. In it, students can bring concepts & careers to life for 6 other of our other STIIX projects.🤳

  • Students Served: 15-45 students

Why Educators Choose
Hands-On Engineering

Students don't learn engineering by watching someone else engineer. These bundles put the materials in their hands and the challenge in front of them. Students investigate a concept, design a solution, build it, test it, learn from what happened and try again. That's where the learning happens.
