Brainstorm ideas by researching where popular theme parks are located. What makes these locations attractive to thrill seekers? What are some original themes that would make for a fun park? Use the mind-mapping tool [|Bubbl.us] to record ideas. Once all ideas are mapped, all engineers will collaborate to make final decisions for theme and location.

 * **Step 1.** Before the design process can begin, Disney needs to decide where the park will be located and what the theme will be. They have put you and the other teams of engineers up to this task.

Things to keep in mind:
 * Step 2.** Disney is impressed with your collaboration skills! In fact, they are so impressed they’d like for all teams to work together in a Gallery Walk for the first stage of the design process. Designate one engineer per team to start a rollercoaster design on a large sheet of butcher paper. All other engineers will walk around the gallery of designs and share insights and ideas. After an allotted amount of time the role of the engineer drawing will switch until every member of the team has had a turn. This process is intended to help you get over the initial hump and start generating ideas.
 * Your rollercoaster must be **SAFE!** Use your knowledge of physics (force, motion, Newton’s Laws, friction, etc.) to make the ride safe.
 * You should incorporate at least **THREE** shapes of the family functions. Use your knowledge of slope and angles to create a smooth ride.

 * Step 3.** It’s time to bring your design ideas to life! Each team of engineers will create a 3D Google SketchUp rollercoaster.
 * [|Download Google SketchUp]
 * Take some time to play with the program and look through the [|video tutorials]. If there are any questions don’t hesitate to ask other engineers or the board of directors for Disney.
 * To get some design ideas check out the 3D Warehouse: [|Sample Designs]

- Use your knowledge of persuasion and social media to create an outline of a jaw-dropping advertising campaign.
 * Step 4.** Your rollercoaster is up and running, but who is going to ride it? Your team will need to put your heads together to discuss advertising. How will you get the word out about the theme park and your new phenomenal ride?

Using [|SlideRocket], your team will create a presentation that: [|SlideRocket Tutorial] || **SCIENCE**
 * Step 5.** It’s time to tie everything together and present to Disney!
 * Explains the design process and your design in particular.
 * Explains how your team would attract customers to the theme park.
 * Be sure to explain how you specifically used components of math, science, English, and technology.
