This is a 2012 photo of the pumpkin head of former Charlotte Mayor Pat McCrory after it was shot out of the trebuchet. In 2012, his pumpkin head predicted a loss to the Democratic contender, Walter Dalton. Oh yes, these pumpkins develop their own "human" personalities!

We're not just shooting pumpkins. Students are having fun learning.

They learn how to draw a portrait on a sphere. Normally, that's something art students draw on a flat piece of paper. Did you know that cartography is an up-and-coming career option? Did you know that the designers of hot air balloons draw on a sphere, too?

Students learn about mathematical equations involving speed, height, arch, weight and more. Engineers need to have those skills.

Social studies students learn about the political process.

All the students learn a little about the candidates. Oh, we love to make learning fun!
