[Ansteorra] request for seige weapon assistance

[Donna Nesbit]

Catapulting-hooray.
   
  Several years ago, my son's high school physics teachers had them built "lemming launchers."  An entire story line was built to prompt the students.  Parents were allowed to help as much they cared to and students worked in groups of 4-5.  Everyone had fun chunking tennis balls at each other.  Wish we still did it.

Several years ago one of my kids' junior high Geometry teachers had a similar idea, but the kids expanded on it. It bloomed into a "Catapult Challenge" that the entire school was allowed to observe. The teacher asked the local SCA group to help with technicalities, but we wound up being hands on teachers ourselves, and targets of the water ballons in the end. It was a great demo opportunity, and made memories for the kids they will never forget. 

If you would like more details of what we did, please contact me off-list.
