Crazy Catapults

It’s only the first week of Spring 2016’s After School To-Go, and Girlstart girls are already learning about simple machines and engineering! Girls used the Engineering Design Process to identify a problem question, research and brainstorm ideas, and build their own catapult prototype.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Girls evaluated their catapults and launching objects to compare and contrast how far each object traveled. We’re excited to see more cool technology, built by hand, from our Girlstart girls this semester!
