Catapult Project - A Day In The Life - IVVC Article

Shayne C., from Plano, took time out today to tell about his “catapult project” that was going to be tested later in the period. All of the students were given a list of materials and expected to come up with a catapult that would toss a ball for a measured distance competition. Shayne was sure his would go past the 20 foot mark and his would be one of the best. He really enjoys all the project work that combines creativity and applied knowledge in this class and plans on continuing his engineering education at the Institute of Technology in Morrison, Illinois this fall. Shayne enjoys this class because it enables him to turn his creative thoughts in to a real project. You will find Shayne hard at work this spring break at his job in the Outlet Mall where he “catapults” the money into the cash register.
