Don’t think of this as a kit. Think of it as a bag full of endless solutions. Although
the end of this guide contains step-by-step instructions for creating a launcher,
we encourage you (your students) to try and develop new and different designs.
Because, in design and engineering, there is never one right answer…
TeacherGeek Easy Engineering Series products are designed to encourage innova-
tion and alternative designs. We encourage you to use the Easy Engineering Com-
ponents to create your own brilliant solutions.
Because, your first idea is rarely your best…
TeacherGeek Easy Engineering Series products are designed to be redesigned;
they allow you to quickly change and evolve your designs.
Because, possibilities are endless…
TeacherGeek Easy Engineering Components can be easily combined with other
materials and products (Raid the recycling bin, wood, metal, broken toys, etc.)
“Kit” Can Be a Bad Word:

Dowels vary in diameter because they are made of wood.
We have provided you with extra dowels to make up for
dowels which may be too large or too small to use.
