Discover the atlatl, a powerful spear-thrower used by the Aztecs! With an atlatl, warriors could launch darts faster and farther than by hand alone. Darts were tipped with sharp obsidian or bone that could pierce tough Spanish leather armor. Some atlatls were beautifully decorated and gifted to nobles, while others were plain and used by warriors. Today, people still make and use atlatls to explore ancient technology. Try this ancient skill yourself and experience history in action!
Teen Saturdays Workshops are offered bilingually in Spanish and English and are designed to build community and enrich the museum experience for multicultural and Spanish-speaking teens.
The $10 fee includes free admission to all HMSC museums immediately following the workshop.
Teens receive a Harvard Museums of Science & Culture (HMSC) membership (worth $100) after attending three or more Teen Saturdays Workshops per semester. Or, receive a free admission pass (worth $15) for a return visit if you attend one of the four sessions.
