DESCRIPTION:In the STEAM Catapult Challenge, students use design and engin
 eering thinking to construct catapults that can project pom poms as far as
  possible. Through hands-on exploration led by instructors from Ponus Ridg
 e STEAM Academy, students learn about the functions and purpose of catapul
 ts, potential energy, levers, and measurement of distance. Working collabo
 ratively in teams, students will design, test, and refine their catapults 
 to see who can build the most effective launcher. Creativity, problem-solv
 ing, teamwork and competition are key as students turn ideas into action a
 nd aim for maximum distance! Get ready to design, build, and compete!For s
 tudents in grades 5-8 in Fall 2026.  Registration opens August 1 at 8am.P
 onus Ridge STEAM Academy is a middle school for grades 6–8 where student

 hnology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics through hands-on PBL and exper
