Thames & Kosmos Architectural Engineering | Science Experiment & Model Building Kit | Build 26 Models of Structures & Structural Elements | A Parents' Choice Gold Award Winner 14.6 Inches

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. With 20 guided model builds, you can construct stadiums, skyscrapers, a Ferris wheel, and more. By getting hands-on with these exercises, you'll develop an understanding of how architectural engineers apply scientific principles to their designs and how the buildings and structures of the 21st century push materials and engineering to the limits. The 44-page, full-color manual guides your journey while encouraging independent exploration. What is the tallest tower, The most voluminous dome, or the longest bridge you can build with the modular building pieces? How will you use what you learn to further your architectural journey?
