Drafts
In the photos above is our original catapult design. This style of catapult is known as the ballista works like a slingshot. Rather than sending the ball from the back of the catapult and propelling it foreword to hit a stopper that sends the ball, with the ballista style of catapult the ball would be pulled parallel to the front opening of the catapult and the ball would then be released sending it foreword. For our final prototype catapult, most of the parts that we used were from the previous draft catapults.

Final and Reflection
How do you feel you incorporated the Design Thinking Methods into the process of this catapult build?
What would you do differently to have a better outcome (design, product, prototype, what have you)?
How do you feel you were able to work together with your group? What are your strengths and weaknesses in group work?
How has doing this project impacted how you will work in my class and in others from now and into the future.
