Make a Popsicle Stick Catapult

December 26th, 2006

Here is a project that I had some fun with.

Well you probably can’t make a real catapult but you can make a small one out of popsicle sticks! I put together a complete tutorial with lots of pictures on how to make a popsicle stick catapult. All it takes is 32 sticks, a rubber band and some masking tape.

This project also shows the strength of the triangle as it is used in architecture as a building tool. This little catapult is pretty strong and can fire off a projectile.
