A collection of step-by-step build guides for use in Studio’s Creative Engineering class with Mark Rober.
Learn to build a catapult! Here are some step-by-step instructions that walk through the build process for a basic catapult. We've included guides for two versions of the build: the catapult Mark actually built in the prototyping video lesson, and a simpler option for beginners that doesn't use any power tools.
These are completely optional resources! If you're incorporating a catapult into your build, you can use these guides to help you design and assemble it. If not, you can definitely check them out if you're interested, but make sure you save enough time to finish your actual build.
Remember, you have lifetime access to the class content (including these build guides), so if you'd rather skip these or save them for later, that is ok!
