Model Rollercoaster
• Engineering •
My group designed and constructed a model roller coaster. The initial designs were hand drawn and then excel was used to do physics calculations to predict the behavior of the ball and fine tune measurements. The final construction was made with pipes as supports and tubing as the track. A CAD model of the rollercoaster was drafted after.
Cardboard Chair
• Design •
The initial chair designs were constructed in Autodesk CAD, and the team built the final product using only cardboard. The chair supported the weight of 2 people without breaking.
