Roller Coaster Physics: Build, Test & Thrill (Age 12-14)
Youth Education

This hands-on STEM camp takes students on an exciting journey through the physics that make roller coasters work. Each day focuses on a key concept—gravity, friction, centripetal force, and projectile motion—while campers design, test, and refine their own coaster models. Through engaging experiments and collaborative challenges, students will learn how energy, motion, and engineering principles combine to create thrilling rides. The week concludes with a team-based project where campers integrate all concepts into a multi-stage desktop coaster masterpiece. Perfect for curious minds who love building, problem-solving, and seeing science in action!
