Tools and Materials
The Engineering Creation Kit has everything you need for this project and many more from STEM Inventions, or get the supplies in bulk:
-
Craft sticks
-
Clothespin
-
Tool for cutting corks
Tips and Troubleshooting
If the launcher isn't shooting very far, then...
-
Make sure the rubber bands are being stretched out enough.
-
Make sure the clothespin is positioned at the top of the craft stick "stairs." If it's not, the cork or the rubber band may get caught on the edge of a stick.
