LR - Crashapult STEM Challenge

Build it. Launch it. Crash it. Learn from it. Try again. 🏹

This is the kind of toy that gets children off the sofa and into full engineering mode without them even realising it. The Learning Resources Crashapult STEM Challenge hands children a build-it-yourself catapult and a set of increasingly tricky targets, then steps back and lets curiosity, trial and error, and sheer determination do the rest.

Adjust the angle. Change the force. Move the target. Send the ball flying through the hoop, into the funnel, or straight into the goal cup. Every failed attempt is a physics lesson in disguise, teaching children about angles, trajectories, force, and cause and effect in the most hands-on, genuinely exciting way imaginable.

No batteries. No springs. No rubber bands. Just pure kid-powered engineering fun.
