Paper Marble Coasters

Get ready to unleash your inner engineer as you dive into a hands on STEM workshop focused on designing and building epic paper marble coasters. Using real world physics concepts, you will explore how potential and kinetic energy work together to send marbles racing through twists, turns, drops and loops.

You will learn the science behind roller coasters and apply that knowledge to design, test and refine your own custom coaster. This interactive session encourages creativity, problem solving and experimentation as you work to build the fastest and most exciting track possible.

This workshop is made possible through the support of Tablelands Regional Council.
