The Challenge
What makes Columbus Challenge work?
In the Columbus Challenge, teams design and construct a giant self-standing roller coaster using only minimal resources, then present and pit it against rival builds. Groups must work out the scale, structure and base while bringing analytical thinking and a clear vision to life. It is an ambitious build that ends in a confident, competitive showcase.
