Roads, Ramps, and Rolling Things

Roads, Ramps, and Rolling Things

Design, make, test, evaluate... repeat! Using cardboard and circular objects create your own Ramps and Rolling Things! We will explore the design elements behind things that roll: What makes something roll? How can we make it roll faster?

What inspired you to make this project?:
We were inspired to make this exhibit project to further promote our very young maker initiative and Maker Lab drop-in program at the Bay Area Discovery Museum. This particular project is focused on developing fine and gross motor skills, creative design thinking, and collaboration in children.
