HS engineering students recently finished their first design project this year. They built paper roller coasters for marbles. The roller coasters were required to include jumps, funnels, curves, loops and a theme. Students worked in groups of two to design these fun contraptions and built them while we discussed the design process and the importance of building foundations as a class. Students learned and practiced multiple skills, including communication, drawing design plans, building prototypes and finally testing their coaster and making alterations and adjustments along the way.
Check out some of their outstanding work below:
