Description
Our new full-sized da Vinci Bombard is here! - 2024 Product of the Year!
We have expanded our Leonardo line once again with a full sized Bombard, similar in size to the Leonardo Catapult kit.
This working DIY model uses elastics to launch a small hollow ball (about 1” across) - up to 14 feet, and it can be rotated with a gear driven slider to change the trajectory - for some interesting insights about how trajectory changes distance a projectile travels. You can add items to the balls to change the weight, which will also change the distance, and use other types of small balls to learn about how density and the smoothness of the covering affects how projectiles will fly.
You know we like to hurl things and this is one of the best ones I’ve made!
A great beginner to intermediate STEM kit for kids to learn about trajectory, parabolas, and it has an interesting back story about a genius renaissance inventor, engineer and artist, - and a great way for kids of all ages to learn more about European history, Leonardo and the time he lived, and then hurl things - the perfect mix!
Age Rating: 14+ While the kit can be made by people younger than 14 (we think kids 9 and over have the skills) it does launch a projectile, so is rated 14+. The balls are hollow, and light - so very safe - even up close.
So that is our latest kit, If you are looking to have something new - that hurls things - which I think everyone on the planet wants to do, this is a good one!
- ages 14 and up
- measures: 20 x 3.5 x 7.5" (25 x 9 x 20cm)
