The Haines Borough Public Library would like to thank everyone who helped with the catapult competition. Teens were able to learn about propulsion, work-energy and aerodynamics with library systems engineer Erik Stevens. Lynn Canal Counseling Services provided supplies, tools and supervision. James Alborough lent us ammunition. Lutak Lumber provided expertise on medieval warfare. If not for their help, we would not have been able to build a powerful catapult that launches tennis balls up to 76.5 feet with adequate accuracy. Look out for the competition results announcement. Thank you all for your enthusiasm!
