The Thames & Kosmos Structural Engineering Kit allows young builders to explore the principles of structural engineering through hands-on experiments. This kit includes over 285 interchangeable building pieces and a 36-page illustrated manual. Kids can construct 20 different models, learning about forces such as tension, compression, and shear. The kit encourages creativity and problem-solving as they build various structures, including bridges and skyscrapers, while understanding the mechanics behind their stability and strength.
