There are no pre-determined configurations for these roller-coaster-type racetracks. Students will create their own slopes, bumps, loops and corkscrews. It's a hands-on way to learn the physics of force and motion through trial and error.
The best part about these racetracks is that they teach problem solving. They can easily be rebuilt again and again. As students work through the engineering design process, they will learn to evaluate and improve their work. It will help them develop a growth mindset - all in the fun setting of racing matchbox cars.
