PATHFINDERS Medieval Catapult STEM Building Kit | Wooden Catapult Model | Mechanical Engineering, Physics & Historical Siege Project
- BUILD TIME: ABOUT 60 MINUTES – A rewarding, straightforward project with a clean, mechanical finish once assembled
- AGE 14+ – Designed for teen and adult builders who appreciate hands-on projects, historical engineering, and mechanical creativity.
- FULLY FUNCTIONAL CATAPULT – Tension-powered system delivers consistent launches for testing distance, force, and mechanical performance
- MEDIEVAL-INSPIRED DESIGN – Precision-cut wooden components reflect classic siege engine construction, offering an engaging STEM-focused build experience
- MECHANICS & PHYSICS EXPLORATION – Includes step-by-step instructions to experiment with tension, projectile mass, and trajectory for authentic mechanical learning
Just add glue, scissors and an appreciation for the physics and art behind these medieval siege engines. High-quality models hurl a small ball more than 15 feet in 1 throw, with adjustable pads that change the trajectory angle and encourage experimentation for greater accuracy. Pre-cut, pre-drilled solid wood pieces are easy to assemble; models can be build in about 1 to 2 hours.
