Christmas STEM Makers Workshop - Roman Catapult

Christmas STEM Makers Workshop - Roman Catapult


Originally invented by the Greeks over 2000 years ago and widely used by the Romans in battles and sieges, the Catapult had many different methods of launching projectiles.

 

During the Roman Empire, the Catapult was refined and improved and this model represents a smaller version of a common catapult style of the time.

Based on drawings and written records, this catapult re-creates the way in which tension powered siege engines worked and can fire small clay balls (included) and other soft projectiles – over 15 feet!

  • Natural untreated wood from sustainable forests
  • All pieces pre-cut and ready to go
  • Parts are pegged for extra strength

*All materials are included in the course fee. Each student will create their own product after class.
