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.

  • Design a self-standing roller coaster
  • Build it with minimal resources
