Roller Coaster Competition
The Iowa Alpha Chapter at Iowa State University has been recognized nationally for the service projects that it has organized, and has taken the challenge of hosting a roller coaster competition for middle and high school students. Marc Hermon, an Urbandale High School teacher, started this competition in order to reach out to high school students who have an interest in mathematics, physics and engineering. The competition gives students an opportunity to apply theory to a project that is both fun and challenging.
Below are listed a few documents available for download. The roller coaster rules form will provide information and insight into the nature of the competition and should answer most of the questions that you may have. The second document listed is the judges scoring form. This form will be the one used during the competition, so it should be used to your advantage. The third document is the registration form. This form will need to be completed and returned to Iowa State University no later than March 17, 2008. If you have any further questions, please contact the TBP Project Officers (tbp-projects@iastate.edu).
