STEM Challenge Catapult



A few weeks ago our STEM Challenge was to design and build a catapult from household items.  No kits or legos could be used.  The winner was determined by whose catapult could shoot a mini-marshmallow the farthest.  Here are a few of the designs.  

    Our Winning design is Emma (Below).  She wanted her prize to be the rest of the marshmallow bag! :) 



It is a little hard to see, but this was a launching deck.

Emma's design featured a large plastic kitchen spoon, a shoebox and a few other items to create tension.  All participants did a great job!
