Get some summer fun going with our Pom-Pom Ball Shooter STEM Engineering Challenge. Make a Pom-Pom Ball Shooter from recycled materials and challenge your kids and friends to see who can throw the ball the highest.

Simple physics combined with easy engineering, this DIY Pom-Pom Machine Gun is perfect for cool summer evenings. A practical challenge, your children will need a little adult supervision and no more than 15 minutes to create it.
Quick tip: up the ante with these funny science jokes that will have everyone laughing out loud!
Once your pom pom ball is ready, you are ready to play. Create teams or compete individually. You can challenge your opponent to throw the ball higher or farther.
Let your kids figure out for themselves how to aim for the best height and longest distance. Does it have anything to do with how they hold the shooter? Perhaps!
Let them guess. Let your kids experiment with different positions and see which one works for the best height and the most distance. The perfect DIY for hands-on STEM learning, this is a must-try!
