    Roller Coaster Physics: Students are putting the final touches onto their roller coasters!
    1. Head Engineer: Oversees the entire operation. This includes the design, construction, and
    teamwork management.
    2. Structural Engineer: Ensures the roller coaster does not collapse and it remains stable and
    secure. Responsible for building the basic structure.
    3. Special Effects Engineer: In charge of the construction of the special parts of the roller coaster.
    Creates the funnel, loops, turns, and any other special features!
    4. Architect: Designs and oversees the layout of the roller coaster. Receives input and
    designs/draws roller coaster to oversee construction.
    Phase 1: The engineering process and architectural design
    Phase 2: Building the basic structure
    Phase 3: Adding on the special features
    Phase 4: Testing the designs - calculating speed
