For the Junior Business Jumpstart Badge, girls will use the Engineering Design Process to complete the badge requirements by listening to an entrepreneur’s story and learning about roller coasters and the inventor of the roller coaster loop-the-loop that forever changed the roller coaster industry.  Girls will then design & build a roller coaster prototype, get feedback on it, and revise their prototype and incorporate the suggestions.  Girls will create a name and business pitch for their new themed roller coaster.  Then they will pitch it to the other Juniors on why they should spend their money to ride their coaster!  It's going to be a wild ride!
