JAM Session: Marble Roller Coasters (ages 6-10) - Museum at Prairiefire
*The event has already taken place on this date: Thu, 01/16/2025
Have you ever wondered if you could design your own roller coaster? If you’ve been on one before, think about what made the ride fun (or not so fun), and what design elements it had. Were there loops? Were there lots of turns? In this engineering JAM, you will work as part of a team to design and build a model roller coaster track using insulation tubing and a marble. The objective is to not just come up with a working design, but to gain an understanding of potential vs. kinetic energy and how the two are related. As your team adds a new component to the track, you will test for fail points so you can improve on your design where needed.
