🏗️ Build, Experiment & Learn the Science of Structures! Ever wondered how bridges span vast distances or how skyscrapers stand tall against the forces of nature? With this hands-on STEM kit, young engineers aged 8+ can explore the fascinating world of structural engineering through 20 interactive model-building experiments.

Using modular building pieces, kids can construct columns, beams, trusses, arches, and shells, learning how different shapes and materials contribute to strength and stability. Experiment with tension, compression, shear, and bending forces, and discover how engineers optimize structures for safety and efficiency.

Build truss bridges, arch bridges, cantilever bridges, rope bridges, and suspension bridges, then take on the challenge of constructing towering skyscrapers! The full-colour manual provides step-by-step guidance, making complex engineering concepts fun and accessible.

🔧 Features:

  • 20 hands-on experiments exploring structural engineering principles

  • Build bridges, skyscrapers & other structures using modular components

  • Investigate forces like tension, compression & shear

  • Full-colour manual with step-by-step instructions & real-world applications
