Medieval Armored Combat
At our exhibit, attendees will:
- Explore the Engineering: Learn about the physics of force deflection, the precise mechanical articulation of armor joints, and the metallurgy behind buhurt.
- Get Hands-On: Feel the weight of the armor and weapons, try on gauntlets and helms, and more!
- Experience Live Demonstrations: Watch real knights in steel armor engage in authentic, high-intensity combat demonstrations, testing engineering limits!
- Engage with Makers: Talk directly to the athletes and armorers about the grueling process of designing, building, and maintaining armor for a rigorous combat sport.

What inspired you to make this project?
We love engaging with people and inspiring them to challenge themselves and do more, not just for themselves, but also for those in their community! We want to inspire people to work towards the future by looking at the past and what we have learned, and take the lessons learned and do something new and positive with it.
