MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (WTVF) — Homeschoolers in Middle Tennessee are designing their own amusement park rides and finding out the challenges that mother nature can present.

It's all part of engineering week at Murfreesboro's Discovery Center.

Each class teaches students about careers in math, science and engineering. Kids lead the design teams, while their parents help with construction. All the projects were built with office supplies.
