Students will use their engineering skills to construct a working catapult.
Bookable Group Challenge Lab
This activity encourages a quick scientific investigation as students utilize engineering, mechanics, and physics skills to construct a working catapult. When done, they compete to see which team’s catapult can launch a projectile the farthest.
About Engineering Challenge Labs
Our Engineering Challenge Labs are an opportunity for students to investigate scientific phenomena while working collaboratively to imagine, plan, create, test, and improve on solutions to design challenges. Students will use their own creativity and real scientific tools to evaluate their creations.
Engineering Challenge Labs can be added to your group visit for an additional fee. Click here for pricing.
