Siege Weapon Contest

   Launch it!   Make Improvement!  Launch It Again!  

Are you ready for a challenge? It is time to gather supplies sitting around your house and assemble your ancient weapon for battle!

You have some options

1. Build one of the siege weapons from Mini Weapons Of Mass Destruction – Siege Warfare. Take it straight from the book or tweak it to make your own!

2. Design your own from scratch based on your learning from webinars and labs of Young Engineers of Today

3. Combine a little bit of everything from the book, your mind, online examples, etc.

The key is to apply our learning to make something AWESOME!

The contest starts today and ends next Monday, Feb 9th. by midnight eastern time.

In order to be considered for an award and one of the prizes you will need to do the following
