🎯 Paper Roller Coaster + Mechanical Hand Challenge
Middle School: Friday, February 28, 2026
High School: Friday, March 7, 2026
Get ready for a double dose of hands-on STEM fun! Students will step into the world of engineering and technology by completing two exciting design challenges in one session:
🎢 Paper Roller Coaster Challenge – Design, build, and test your own marble roller coaster using paper, tape, and creativity while learning about motion, energy, and real-world engineering design.
✋🏾 Mechanical Hand Build – Create a working model of a human hand using straws, string, and cardboard to explore how mechanics and technology are used in biomedical and robotic engineering.
Both activities are designed to spark creativity, teamwork, and innovation — helping students explore future careers in mechanical, civil, and biomedical engineering while learning how problem-solving shapes the world around them.
Learning Focus: Engineering Design • Mechanics & Motion • Innovation & Career Exploration
Explore • Create • Engineer Your Future
