DIY Wooden Paper Airplane Catapult STEM Experiment Kit

The DIY Wooden Paper Airplane Catapult is a build-it-yourself STEM kit that lets kids assemble their own motorized wooden launcher, then fold and fire paper airplanes with the press of a switch. Made from eco-friendly wood with non-toxic waterborne paint, the kit walks kids through wiring two small motors, fitting the battery compartment, and assembling the wooden panels into a working catapult — a hands-on introduction to simple circuits and mechanical engineering.

Key Features & Benefits

• Real DIY Assembly: Kids connect motor wiring, insert the switch, and build the wooden body panel by panel using the included numbered instructions.
• Dual-Motor Launch Mechanism: Two small motors power the spinning launch wheels that send a folded paper airplane flying.
• Eco-Friendly Wood Construction: Built from laser-cut wood panels finished with non-toxic waterborne paint.
• STEM Learning: Teaches basic circuitry (wiring, switches, battery compartments) and mechanical assembly skills.
• Compact Desktop Size: Finished catapult measures roughly 14.5cm long x 9.5cm wide x 4.8cm high.
• English Instructions Included: Clear step-by-step diagrams guide the full build process.
