We made this pom-pom launcher for issue #8 and we've been launching various things all morning, testing how far they'll go (marshmallows fly, pig figurines don't). For this tinker craft, we got advice from Laurie Grindle, Engineer at @nasajpl. She told us, "At NASA, we say that you can learn just as much, if not more, from failure as you can from success."
Pick up Kazoo's Magnificent Mistakes Issue (#8) for full instructions for this and other DIY STEM toys.
