Quick Learn - Design & Build a Paper Roller Coaster

What's a Quick learn?

Love the idea of unschooling but not quite sure how to implement it in your homeschool? Looking for an alternative to the low grade clerical work that passes for curriculum?

Quick Learns help guide students with open ended activities aimed at encouraging creativity. Each Quick Learn is designed to guide students through a short, open ended activity. These projects introduce students to new skills and software which they can choose to further explore with our longer form 'Project Files'

In this Quick Learn:

Design and Build a paper roller coaster and then launch your marble to see if it works!

The Challenge for kids:

Love high speeds, extreme heights, and lots of twists and turns? Then the 4th Creative Challenge is for you!

Become an engineer and design the coolest paper roller coaster that your marble can handle. Use simple materials to create loops, drops, and zig zags to keep your rider guessing what will come next.

Duration:

The recommended length for this project is 3 - 6 weeks.
