    Learn all about catapults in a hands-on event! Students from the College of Engineering will work with students from grades 6 - 8 in understanding how catapults are made, why they were used, and then design their own mini catapult to launch an object! Participants will learn about the history of catapults, the different components of a catapult, and how each works. Then, participants will design their own mini catapult and build it to launch a tiny object!
