Thames & Kosmos 625414 Thames & Kosmos Structural Engineering Kit

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.

• Build 20 different models that each teach about force, load, compression, tension and more
• Over 285 interchangeable building pieces
• Includes a 36-page, illustrated experiment manual and assembly guide
• Learn about basic structural elements including columns, beams, trusses, and arches
• Explore forces acting on structural components including tension, compression, shear, and bending
