So, how do you get the attention of first-year MIT students? At East Campus, you invite them to help build a roller coaster.
The roller coaster team undergoes training and works with the City of Cambridge to ensure proper safety measures are followed. Once building begins, interested first-year students are invited to help with construction, and when it’s finished, to take ride. When the coaster comes down after REX week, the materials are recycled and reused – with some going to students who use them to customize their rooms.
