Technology Catapults

On Wednesday the 25 of August the Middle Syndicate had a Technology Challenge. We were split into groups; one group had to make the longest marble bridge, one group had to build a stand alone bird feeder and another group had to build a catapult that threw a bean the furtherest. We're telling you about the catapult.

We had 10 minutes to make a catapult that fires a bean. After all that we had a competition to see who's bean would go the furthest when you fired it.The longest bean went 7m and 49cm. Second place was 3m and 69cm. I felt happy for coming second.

Sometimes the ideas don't quite work, so we have to think about how to make them work better. But when they do work, it is really cool...
