Learn about engineering simple machines with this STEM building kit. Once built, you can launch mini projectiles and fend off those clever beasts.
A bombard, also known as a cannon, was large and heavy and required a crew to operate, but this historical replica has shrunk down to a mini size. Da Vinci, the ultimate Renaissance man, was a skilled artist, engineer, and military mastermind. He designed this bombard to launch heavy objects using gunpowder to propel the projectiles over distances. Today, bombards are often studied in historical contexts to understand the progression of warfare and engineering.
This DIY mini-model kit is hands-on learning at its best. Model-building kits decrease stress and increase focus, organization, spatial, and fine motor skills. It is a mini wooden craft kit to explore engineering, simple machines, and historic replicas. It is a great summer craft for kids, teens, and adults that will bring all ages together for a project.
