Make Your Own Marble Roller Coaster

A MD STEM Festival Event

Celebrate the STEM festival by creating a roller coaster for marbles! You might just be the next great engineer.

Design your own roller coaster.  Using cardboard tubing, tape, and ingenuity, you will create a "roller coaster" for marbles.  See what kind of engineering feat you can accomplish. You may be inspired to create other engineering wonders. All supplies will be provided.

This program is for middle and high school students, ages 10 - 17 (tweens and teens).

The Maryland STEM Festival is a month-long celebration of science, technology, engineering and mathematics designed to advance STEM and STEAM education for children and teens that takes place every fall.
