Introduction
An extremely fun, creative and very, very chocolaty activity. Each team will have to assemble, brand and name their new rollercoaster made entirely out of chocolate. Structures must be free standing with a special feature and a poster to complete their challenge, we will provide sugar icing to make the carriages (and riders if you’re good enough!)
Event Outline
To begin our event manager will explain the challenge, then our experienced chocolatier will give an inspiring demonstration. They will show the teams how to melt and temper chocolate (we may make some sections of track in advance if there are tight time restraints), the chocolatier will proceed to make and construct sections of track with a special feature and support beams equipping the teams with the necessary skills for the task.
The tasks may include the following:
- Melting and “tempering chocolate”
- Creating the track templates and cutting the sections of track
- Constructing the support beams
- Special features (e.g a loops or vertical drops)
- Track construction
We will give a few tips on how to organise themselves however part of the task will be to see how the teams decide to tackle the challenge and delegate roles.
It is then over to the teams to design, construct and build their rollercoaster concepts. Points will be awarded for team work, design, construction and special features, points will be deducted for poor construction and shoddy structural engineering.
