Architecture and Structural Engineering 428 Pieces

Introduce learners to the exciting world of design and engineering with the Architecture and Structural Engineering Set, an engaging and practical resource that empowers students to explore real-world architectural concepts through hands-on construction. Containing 428 durable plastic pieces, this set is ideal for primary and secondary school students aged 7 years and over, supporting the STEAM learning approach across Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Maths.

This comprehensive set includes both rigid and flexible rods, allowing students to experiment with structural elements like arch bridges, circular buildings, and skyscrapers. Learners can use the student workbook to complete 20 guided experiments, which introduce a wide range of architectural designs and principles - from basic shapes to complex feats of structural engineering. Each experiment includes explanations, real-world applications, parts lists, and step-by-step instructions, providing context and deepening understanding.

Perfect for individual tasks or collaborative classroom projects, the set develops not only engineering knowledge but also key transferable skills such as logical thinking, planning, and creative problem-solving. Durable, easy-to-clean plastic components make it a long-lasting and hygienic resource for ongoing use.
