Ever wondered what it takes to design a roller coaster? In this interactive presentation, students will explore the STEM behind the thrills, from the earliest “Russian Mountain” sled rides to the high-tech coasters of today.
Using the simulation game Planet Coaster, the presenter will guide students through a custom-built virtual theme park designed to demonstrate how roller coasters work. Along the way, students will see how concepts like physics, engineering, and design come together to create safe and exciting rides.
Get ready for a learning experience with plenty of twists and turns. You won’t want to miss this ride!
