Sachem Summer Build & Thrill STEM

 .Build & Thrill is a hands-on Summer STEM enrichment course where students become amusement park engineers, designing and building attractions through engaging, classroom-based STEM activities. Using roller coasters as a central focus, students explore concepts such as gravity, speed, energy, and motion by creating and testing model coasters, while additional challenges include designing Ferris wheels, spinning rides, and other theme park attractions. Through collaborative design, problem-solving, and real-world engineering challenges, students apply science, math, and critical thinking skills as they imagine, build, and refine their own amusement park ideas.
