Are you ready to send a pumpkin flying? Join McMaster’s Pumpkin Chunkin Club to see their giant trebuchet launch pumpkins through the air, then use engineering skills to design your own trebuchet! It’s a bird… it’s a plane… it’s a pumpkin!!
Youth ages 7–11 will design and build their very own mini trebuchets using provided materials. Youth ages 12–17 will take their designs into the digital world and create their own trebuchets using SolidWorks, a 3D design program used by real engineers.
Come ready to build, experiment, and see just how far you can launch!
Check-in: Please arrive at 11:45 am for check-in.
