Catapult Kit for Kids, 30-Pack - Bulk STEM Kit for Classrooms, Ages 8+

About this item

• Catapult STEM Project for the Whole Class: Kids build their own mini catapults and test launch distance and trajectory. Activity fits within a single class period. Designed for classrooms, makerspaces, after-school programs, summer camps, and libraries.
• Complete Supplies for 30 Builds: Includes 350 large craft sticks, 600 mini rubber bands (latex-free), 75 3M adhesive squares, 30 cups, and foam cubes. All materials are organized and ready to hand out, with no additional supplies needed.
• Hands-On Physics in Action: Students adjust the fulcrum position to change launch trajectory, directly applying concepts of potential and kinetic energy and leverage. Pairs well with other DIY STEM challenges such as an egg drop, and encourages structured experimentation and critical thinking.
• Supports Independent Student Work: Step-by-step instructions allow students to build and test with minimal teacher intervention. Manageable for one instructor with a full class of 25-30 students.
• Durable, Reliable Components: Craft sticks and hardware are designed to hold up through repeated launches. Consistent results across all student builds reduce troubleshooting time.
