We got to do our first STEM activity this week and it was all about designing your own slingshot. There were six teams. On Thursday, each team had to design their own slingshot and draw up their blueprint. On Friday, each team was given two popsicle sticks and three rubber bands. They had fifteen minutes to build their slingshots before we tested them. We used pom poms to slingshot and measured each distance. Team five won with their pom pom going 165 inches. It was a great experience with working as a team and having fun being engineers. Below are pictures of the planning stage, the building stage, and the testing stage.
