The Catapults & Crossbows STEM Kit allows young engineers to get medieval on physics by constructing 10 sleek, updated model siege weapons. Through hands-on assembly, children learn core concepts of force, energy, motion, and projectile mechanics using safe foam-tipped darts. Designed for ages 8 and up, this educational science kit brings medieval history and modern STEM education together for interactive fun.
Engineering Medieval ScienceHands-on mechanical engineering experiments
Unleash history and science with the Catapults & Crossbows STEM Kit. Featuring 111 durable building pieces, this kit lets kids build five distinct crossbow models and five catapult variations. Discover how historical engineers utilized elastic potential energy, levers, and counterweights to hurl objects across distances. Each design relies on soft, foam-tipped safety bolts that prevent improper items from being launched, guaranteeing safe indoor play. Guided by a full-color, 32-page experiment manual, young builders explore trajectory, mechanical advantage, and physics principles through active hands-on trial and error.
