Recommended for parent-child pairs. Enrol: https://trebuchet17june.peatix.comHow about recreating the historical machine that defended humans from falling quickly to Sauron in the Battle of Minas Tirith on Middle Earth. Trebuchets were also featured in the 'Kingdom of Heaven' when Saladin laid siege onto Jerusalem.Trebuchets originate from ancient China and medieval Europe in the form of a working display toy model. Build up your very own trebuchet with wood, cloth and nails, learning the mechanics of its counterweight method to be able to launch marbles in ridiculous ranges! Learn to implement the engineering mechanisms for the trebuchet! Set up a rigid structure to hold up the swinging lever, gauge the weight ratio of the counterweight, and estimate the optimal length of the runway! Will Minas Tirith be able to withstand the siege of dark forces with your Trebuchet?UPDATE | Preferred Payment:We prefer bank transfer to the following account: 'DBS Corporate/Current 003-940747-5'.
