Details & care
STEM STRUCTURES: BUILDINGS & BRIDGES - Construction Set is a hands-on engineering kit designed to introduce children to the fundamentals of structural design through interactive building. Learn all about buildings and how they literally support our lives! Experiment with different types of bridges and find out how their architecture design provides massive weight support. Discover all the types of forces applied and how engineers manage to reduce their effects. BUILD 9 MODELS: With 191 pieces, kids can construct up to 9 different models while exploring how buildings and bridges are designed to be strong, stable, and efficient. Build working models such as a house, a pyramid and various types of bridges: beam, arch, truss, cable-stayed and suspension bridge. EASY INSTRUCTIONS: You can find easy-to-follow building instructions for all models either online or in the booklet included. DETAILED BOOKLET & QUIZ SECTION: The booklet provides detailed explanations of the different scientific principles applied and incorporates innovative experimental activities for hands-on learning. A Quiz section is also available to challenge your newly acquired knowledge! By building and testing different models, they gain insight into how engineers design safe and durable structures. The NON-MOTORIZED DESIGN encourages focused, quiet play while promoting experimentation and problem-solving. As children assemble and rebuild models, they develop spatial awareness, logical thinking, and fine motor coordination through engaging STEM-based learning. PATENTED CONNECTING SYSTEM: Creative snap fit. Easy assembly and construction. EXTRACTION TOOL: For easy disassembly of small parts. Option 1: Squeeze the tool to disassemble small parts. Option 2: Push into the hole to pop-out the locked part.
- 9-IN-1 MULTI-MODEL BUILDING EXPERIENCE: Build up to 9 different structural models including buildings and bridges. Children are encouraged to explore open-ended builds that grow confidence and design thinking.
- 191 SNAP ASSEMBLY PIECES: Durable components designed for complex and stable construction experiments. Easy to combine, take apart, and rebuild for varied hands-on builds and learning.
- INTRODUCTION TO STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING: Teaches how forces and design principles create strong buildings and bridges. It helps children understand how stability, balance, and support work together in real-world structures.
- EXPERIMENTAL STEM LEARNING APPROACH: Encourages learning through building, testing, and observation. This hands-on method promotes deeper understanding by allowing children to explore cause and effect through play.
- DEVELOPMENTAL BENEFITS THROUGH PLAY: Encourages learning through play, improving fine motor skills and spatial awareness. Promotes STEM education by combining fun with science, technology, engineering, and math.
