Disney Imagineering Design and Models

WINNER: 2009 Parents' Choice Gold Award, 2009
CINE Golden Eagle Award, 2009

How did the Imagineers create a realistic looking snow-capped mountain in Florida for Animal Kingdom's Expedition Everest? They started with a design process and models. Using real theme park rides and attractions, like Radiator Springs Racers and Toy Story Midway Mania, students will see how design and models are used to put things together and make them function. They will learn the steps of the engineering design process as well as how both physical and computer aided design models are useful. Each Imagineering DVD includes a bonus try it yourself experiment and an interactive assessment to reinforce key learnings.
