Overview
For this project we took a project that we did this year an made it better. This was the shortest project of the year with having about 6-8 hours of building. My group decided to make a catapult from when the 8th graders shadowed the STEM program for the day.

Reflection:
This was a good project to end the year with because there was no stress of how much you had to get done, it was just whatever you could do in the time that we had. I feel like our group did a good job with this project because we had to build the catapult from scratch and we had a struggle with finding the most important part of the catapult, the arm. The catapult ended up throwing a golf ball 3-4 meters which is not what we expected but we didn't have enough time to make any more improvements to it.
