In this workshop, kids will design, build and test elastic-powered catapults. By adjusting the number and arrangement of popsicle sticks, they will explore how elasticity and deflection affect force, distance and projectile motion.

Robogals is run by volunteers from the University of Auckland. They run STEM focused workshops.
