• Play the role of architect and engineer as you build over 20 models of structural elements and real-world buildings!.
• Start with basic structures like trusses, arches, and domes, and move on to scaled-down models of real-world buildings!
• New flexible building pieces mimic steel frames; All plastic building parts are compatible with other Thames & Kosmos engineering and physics kits.
• Explore the field of architectural design and learn about modern day building materials.
• For ages 8+, includes a 44-page, full-color manual that guides building exercises and encourages kids to dream up their own designs.
Soaring spires, towering arches, fascinatingly complex curves and angles! Build your foundation in architectural design with this fascinating STEM experiment kit that explores the engineering principles behind planning and developing buildings and structures. Through model building exercises you play the role of architect and engineer as you piece together an array of models, from small, basic structural elements like trusses, arches, and domes, to giant complex models of real-world buildings. Try building the Sydney Opera House, or put the Eiffel Tower on display in your living room! With 20 guided model builds, you can construct stadiums, skyscrapers, a Ferris wheel, and more.
