  • Build 20 different models that each teach about force, load, compression, tension and more!
  • Ages: 8+
  • Explore the forces acting on structural components including tension, compression, shear, and bending.
  • Over 285 interchangeable building pieces.
  • Includes 36-page, illustrated experiment manual and Assembly guide
  • With this kit of modular building pieces, you can learn the basics of structural engineering by conducting a series of 20 model-building experiments. Each model demonstrates a basic principle of mechanical physics or structural engineering in a hands-on way. Start out with small models that demonstrate how structural elements can be attached together to maximize the strength of a structure for a fixed amount of material used. 
  • Move onto building more complex models of trusses, roofs, and small buildings. Experiment with different types of bridge construction: a truss bridge, arch bridge, cantilever bridge, rope bridge, and suspension bridge.
  • Finally, build models of towering skyscrapers. What is the tallest tower you can build using only the pieces included in the kit? Learn about the strength and stiffness of materials. See how structural engineers optimize factors to maximize safety, and minimize cost and the risk of structural failure. 
KiKi's Insight: Learn about basic structural elements including columns, beams, trusses, plates, arches, shells, and catenary.
