Tulsa Roller Coaster Contest!

Tulsa Roller Coaster Contest Monday...We were so excited! This week was the Tulsa Roller Coaster contest! We could not wait! All though it was exciting, it was very hard too. We chose our the theme to be jungle related. So my team and I sprayed our cereal box brown for trees, and we painted vines on it. Then we cut the box to three sections and taped them to the poster board. Then we cut a piece of paper for track, but we saw that the cereal box was not working! So we had to restart on the roller coaster. Tuesday... We restarted on our  roller coaster and cut the cereal box better this time! So we taped the parts of the cereal box down to the board and did it right this time! Then we taped track to the box. It was not easy, but we got it done. Wednesday... We were so nervous about the roller coaster because it was not working! So we had to restart on almost everything, THE DAY BEFORE THE CONTEST! So we did a lot of the roller coaster and track so it would work better. Then we tested it to see if it was working. And it worked perfectly! Thursday... We went to the Tulsa State Fair Roller Coaster contest, and when we walked in we saw so many roller coasters! It would be hard to get in the top five! We gave them our roller coaster called The Jungle Rumble. After we gave the roller coaster we looked at the different booths they had there. There was a sea turtle booth,a coding booth, and many more! Then we ate lunch; after lunch it was almost time for the announcement of who won! They said the team that won third is..... Jungle Rumble!!!!!!!! We won third place out of 130 different teams! We won one hundred dollars for our school! It was a great day at OSIEL!

Good job Jenna! It sounds like the final coaster design came down to the last minute! Great job and way to stick with it even when things didn't work out the first couple times! Sometimes the best ideas come after learning from trials that didn't work. Keep up the good work! 👏👏👍
