I participated in the STEAM Olympiad organized by Haileybury Astana, an exciting competition that allowed me to apply my knowledge in practice, develop teamwork skills, and strengthen my engineering thinking. Each participant was part of a team. Our main task was to create our own mechanism—a catapult—and use it to score a goal in a football net. This challenge required not only creativity but also the ability to work effectively with others. To build the catapult, we used various materials and tools, including wooden boards, a long plastic tube, tape, rubber bands, and other necessary components. First, our team designed a blueprint for the future structure. Then, we explored different resources and read online articles to better understand how a catapult works and how it should be assembled. We were given 180 minutes to complete the task. During this time, we successfully built the catapult with our own hands, tested its performance, and made the necessary improvements. The work was challenging but also very interesting and educational. After the preparation time ended, the most exciting stage began—the competition itself. Each team had to use its catapult to launch a ball into a football goal. We worked hard and felt nervous because we wanted to demonstrate the results of our efforts. Finally, it was our turn. We launched the ball using our catapult, and it flew straight into the goal. We scored! It was an unforgettable moment of joy and pride for our team. Participating in the STEAM Olympiad gave me valuable experience, taught me how to work in a team, solve complex problems, and overcome challenges. I gained many positive emotions and would be delighted to participate in similar competitions again
