Roller Coaster Challenge 2012 was a huge success and an amazing opportunity to see students from Columbus and China come together in the spirit of friendly competition. Teams from Linden McKinley STEM Academy, METRO School, and New Bridge International School from Beijing, China joined us at COSI to pit their designs and ideas against one another! Lisa, Walker, Maria, Laura, and I were the PAST folks that got to watch all of the excitement and see all of the students hard work come to life in their model roller coasters, marketing presentations, and scientific posters. The artist in me has to appreciate that 9th grade teachers that gave their students spray paint to decorate their final creations! Also, major points to the team with a zombie themed coaster titled "House of the Dead". The students got to have center stage on February 1st, 2012 as we were generously given the Atrium in COSI to house the coaster competition. It was a huge win for everyone involved and a wonderful day, that our students aren't going to forget anytime soon!
