About this item

Do you ever wonder how bridges span huge distances and how skyscrapers stay standing? Structural engineers use physics and their knowledge of the properties of building materials and geometric shapes to design structures with sufficient strength and stability. 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. ⚠️ WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD - Contains Small Parts. STRANGULATION HAZARD - Contains long cords. Not for children under 3 years. Kit includes: 323 building pieces 44 page full-color manual Directions for 20 experiments Intended for ages 8 and up.
