ROLLER COASTERS AND FERRIS WHEELS
We are heading to CENTER ISLAND to learn about the science and engineering behind rides. Once back to base, they are building their own roller coasters and Ferris wheels. However, their creations will be much smarter, thanks to all the coding, circuits and robotics they will learn during this adventurous week!
Campers will work in teams to design and build their SMART RIDES using MICRO:BIT and LEGO SPIKE.
BONUS: MICRO:BIT and accompanying motor and sensors are complementary. Students will take the entire project (except SPIKE Components) home.
Solution Topic
Kids will explore:
How would you make your rides fun?
What engineering fundamentals you need to consider when designing rides?
How would you make it smart using sensors and coding techniques?
Design, Experiment, Build
Kids will:
Learn the engineering design process for product design
Ideate, brainstorm How Roller Coasters work
