A Catapult Challenge is an event or a competition where participants design, build, and test catapults (or similar projectile-launching devices) to achieve specific objectives. These objectives can vary widely but often involve launching a projectile as far as possible, hitting a target, or launching it with a certain accuracy or trajectory. They are a popular activity in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education, often used to teach principles of physics, engineering, and problem-solving in a hands-on and engaging way.

One of the most enjoyable activities to do at any time of year. Every few months, I recommend it again by publishing it anew. It combines teamwork, group cohesion, participant motivation, and lots of laughter. This video is an edited sample from various companies that were seduced by this original, daring, and surprising challenge.
