How do you feel after taking your virtual ride on a roller coaster? 


Did you know that some people work all day at designing roller coasters as their job? They are called Mechanical Engineers. Some of the abilities that you need for this type of job are;

  • math skills

  • ability to problem solve 

  • creativity

  • technical skills

  • good at working as a team


Who knows, maybe you might make the newest and coolest roller coaster when you grow up.

What would you call it?

What would it look like?

Ready to give making your own roller coaster a try?


Follow the links below for videos that show you how to make a roller coaster out of materials you may have around your house, or just draw one on paper. Take a picture of your roller coaster creation and share it with your teacher!
