Either a bonus opportunity or an alternative to the Roller Coaster Gizmo
As an alternative assignment for the Roller Coaster Gizmo you may go to this site and make a roller coaster that is better than my roller coaster.

Here are the results for the Mysterious Teal Squid whose newspaper headline is "Coaster a snooze fest".
Track Difficulty - Medium
Track Score - 825
Stop Distance - 32m
Coaster Score - 237
Final Score 1062
If you want to earn some bonus points in Technology then do both the Gizmo and build a roller coaster that beats my score. You will be awarded bonus points on your Roller Coaster Gizmo.
Are you missing a GIZMO? This is a great way to raise your Technology Grade - just do both the Roller Coaster Gizmo and then build a roller coaster that beats mine.
Here's how to prove your success: PRINT out the results for your Roller Coaster and bring it to class on the day the Gizmo is due.
A few words of advice: Do the tutorial.
If at first you don't succeed, listen to what the guide says and follow the suggestions changing one factor (variable) at a time to improve the performance of the roller coaster.
