It is a practical and fun exercise developed to simulate a real project environment. Divided into teams, the participants will plan and execute the construction of a functional high-speed roller coaster prototype for a theme park. Due to its success, this exercise became a mini-workshop.

The teams will define the work, evaluate the project feasible budget and time in order to execute it. They will do so concerning the time and costs constraints. Then, students will execute and monitor the project to demonstrate the effectiveness of the plan in adverse conditions.

The approximate duration of the workshop is 2 hours and its main objective is to show the interrelationship between the scope required, deadlines and available budget. In addition, the aspects related to the teamwork quality are directly addressed.
