About This

• WHAT IT IS – The PATHFINDERS Roman Catapult is a hands-on STEM construction kit inspired by ancient Roman engineering. Build a functional wooden siege model that demonstrates how stored mechanical energy was used in historical projectile launching systems.
• BUILD TIME – Engineered for a focused, engaging project, the model can typically be assembled in approximately 60 minutes. Ideal for STEM activities, classroom demonstrations, or independent engineering builds.
• IDEAL FOR – Perfect for teens, hobby builders, STEM learners, and engineering enthusiasts interested in physics, mechanical design, historical weapon systems, and hands-on model construction projects.
• WHAT YOU LEARN – Develops practical understanding of physics and engineering principles including force, tension, energy transfer, mechanical advantage, and projectile motion. Encourages experimentation, problem-solving, and iterative design thinking.
