CHALLENGE: Who can create something that will throw a pumpkin the farthest Wow! our first few sessions were busy with students building catapults and trebuchets to see who could research, plan out, design, and successfully create something that would hold a mini-pumpkin and throw it. Not only throw it, but throw it FAR! Students used a variety of tools and items to design their project. Many of the items chosen were: rubber bands, balloons, variety of sizes and shapes of popsicle sticks, hot glue, variety of plastic spoons, metal tins, plastic cups, pipe cleaners, yarn, and many more crafting supplies. Students were able to work alone or with a partner to plan their designs. The farthest design sent out little pumpkin over 20 feet! The top 3 students were able to chose a techie prize for their great accomplishment on our first challenge!
