As part of our STEM week, we offered free family maker workshops with Luke (from NUSTEM). In these sessions, parents/carers and children worked together to follow instructions to build a catapult. Once built, the catapults were tested. How far would they fire a ping-pong ball? Then came the challenge – What could be changed to make the catapult fire the ball further?
Everyone enjoyed the sessions and all were able to adapt their initial catapult design to make the ball travel further.
