SUMMARY:Summer Series: Medieval Machines: Catapults & Trebuchets
DESCRIPTION:Step back in time and get hands-on with the powerful engineering of the past! In this engaging Summer Series workshop\, you’ll explore the mechanics behind medieval siege weapons and build your own miniature catapult to take home. \nLearn how trebuchets and catapults use tension\, torque\, and leverage to launch objects long distances. Then\, put your knowledge into action by operating a working trebuchet and constructing your own popsicle stick catapult using simple materials provided. \nWhat You’ll Do: \n\n\nOperate a Trebuchet: Try launching with a functional small-scale trebuchet. Experiment with trajectory\, accuracy\, and power. \n\n\nBuild a Catapult: Use popsicle sticks and rubber bands to make a working catapult and explore the physics of tension and leverage. \n\n\nLaunch Challenges: Test your machine’s performance in accuracy and distance-based competitions. \n\n\nWho Should Attend:This class is great for kids\, teens\, adults\, families\, and anyone with an interest in history\, engineering\, or hands-on learning. No experience is required—just bring curiosity and creativity! \nMaterials Provided:All supplies and tools needed for catapult construction and trebuchet demonstrations are included. \nJoin us for this exciting fusion of STEM learning and medieval history—an unforgettable way to fire up both minds and machines! \nSign Up Now
