Historic Technology & Simple Machines: 

Explore the physics principles behind simple machines and how they were used throughout history.  Assemble and test your own medieval catapult and learn how it converts energy to launch challenges of accuracy, distance, and strength.

Many thanks to Westchester County Legislators Emiljana Ulaj, Colin Smith, and Catherine Parker for their generous funding to make this programming possible, and to the Westchester County Board of Legislators and Westchester County Executive for their support of the Westchester Children's Museum. Westchester County's support makes it possible for the Museum to expand its programming and exhibits to northern Westchester communities along the Hudson River region. Read more here.
