New date! Join us on Saturday, April 19, at 3 pm, to learn all about catapults, courtesy of the Wabash College Physics Department. During this one hour workshop, you'll learn how catapults work, see and compare different designs, and even build your own small catapult to take home with you. You'll also get the inside scoop on the new Strawberry Launching Competition coming to the Strawberry Festival this year, and get ideas for how to build your own bigger version to compete in it.
All ages welcome. No pre-registration is required, but please arrive a little before 3 pm so you don't miss out on the fun. Free!
