    Have fun building and playing with this working re-creation inspired by Leonardo da Vinci's 15th Century Trebuchet. A great activity for STEM education. Trebuchets were common siege weapons in Medieval Times and somewhat resemble a sling-like catapult. Learn history and have fun hurling hunks of modeling clay at a target. Hurl treats to your dog or marshmallows to your best friend—protect those eyes! Perfect rainy-day activity or something educational and entertaining to do in lieu of video games.
     
    Mardel's product testers had great fun building then testing this simple machine. Our guys learned that the amount of weight placed in the counterweight box is directly proportional to the distance achieved. Much to our delight, two–three pounds of counterweight (try pennies) fired a marble-sized ball of clay more than 15 feet in a straight line. This activity invites competition! Adult supervision is strongly recommended.
