Last week my catapult challenge to you was: Given a range (distance) to your target, can you tune your catapult & projectile to hit your target? Part of the engineering design process is to measure
If you built your cardboard catapult last week, join me on this week’s video and learn how to use a simple PLAN–DO–CHECK–ACT design cycle to improve your game! My challenge to you this week: Given
Looking for another great STEM experiment you can do at home, mostly with things you have on hand? Join me Saturday, November 7th at 1 :15 pm EST for “Build a Cardboard Catapult“… and maybe
Wondering what to do for Halloween this year? How about an experiment that’s fun and educational. Hey–you get to break some eggs! Or not, depending on how good your design is. Moms–don’t worry–I’ve got you
Welcome Elizabeth I and Elizabeth II! They emerged Monday, July 27th, at 8:00 am and 10:14 am. A female monarch butterfly laid eggs in my garden on Sunday July 5th… I was to find and
Looking for some cool STEM experiments you can do at home, mostly with things you have on hand? Join me, Dr. Marsha Tufft, as I show you how to build and test a catapult made

I overwintered a black swallowtail chrysalis. Ginger, a female black swallowtail butterfly emerged safely on Sunday, May 17th at 7:17 am. Here’s a short video I edited to show some of the highlights… I included
Engineers are problem solvers. But it’s often not enough to solve a problem, we want to do it in the best way possible. Think aircraft engines–you want performance and fuel efficiency, and durability, which are
Sometimes it takes a very different approach to solve a seemingly impossible problem.
