DIY Pumpkin Launchers

Kids will get hands-on with engineering during this fun pumpkin-launching challenge. Using their creativity and problem-solving skills, participants will design and build their own launchers to propel candy corn pumpkins across the room. Whether working solo or teaming up with friends, everyone gets to experiment with physics principles while competing for distance. The activity wraps up with prizes for top performers. This event welcomes families of all ages and is perfect for kids who enjoy building, tinkering, or friendly competition. It's a great way to combine STEM learning with seasonal fun in a relaxed, playful setting.
