With Engino structures: buildings and bridges set learn all about buildings and how they literally support our lives! construct different types of bridges and find out how their architecture design provides massive weight support. Discover all the types of forces applied and how engineers manage to reduce their effects. Build 9 working models such as a house, a pyramid and various types of bridges: beam, arch, truss, cable-stayed and suspension bridge. You can find easy-to-follow building instructions for all models either online or in the booklet included. The booklet provides detailed explanations of the different scientific principles applied and incorporates innovative experimental activities for hands-on learning. A quiz section is also available to challenge your newly acquired knowledge! conduct thorough experiments and discover – how triangulation provides strength on a building – what are the main types of forces acting on structures – how do trusses work – what are the major types of cable bridges. The Engino building system was invented by Costas Sisamos, a former teacher and engineer for the purpose of helping students build technological models creatively and easily to experiment and learn about science and technology in a way that includes all the benefits of play. Research grants from local and e.U. Sources helped transition the three year research project into an innovative product. Since then Engino has developed more snap-fit components such as gears, pulleys, motots, and solar panels. The major advantage of the Engino system is that it’s design flexibility enables children to build simple or complex models quickly using a small number of components.
Great hands-on part of a STEM course. I am using this kit as a part of a STEM class for 9 thru 12 yr olds. Note that this kit is not a stand-alone STEM course. I provided background material on the general elements of STEM and then integrated this kit into that course. The course I developed and taught fits into 20 weeks of classes.The bridge design options provide students with hands-on construction of specific structures. There are also opportunities to explore the relative strength of one design approach with another…
Love STEM toys! My Grandson has always loved Leggos, but is getting a bit too old for them. When he opened his birthday gift and pulled this out, all the parents immediately questioned me where I found this. Please keep putting STEM toys on Amazon. My Grandson loves them, the harder the better.
And I love that, unlike with many LEGO sets My engineer dad bought this for my 7-year-old son. He loves it! And I love that, unlike with many LEGO sets, he is motivated to take it apart and recreate it in different ways.
