Enjoy plenty of room to flex your creativity muscles!
What is the difference between Mola 1, Mola 2 and Mola 3?
Each Mola Structural Kit contains unique pieces that enable the assembly of different structures and explore different concepts. However, since all the kits are compatible with each other, you can also mix pieces to create and explore new structures. Learn more about the differences between each Mola Kit here.

Customer Reviews
We purchased these kits for the architects and engineers at our company to use as a teaching tool with elementary and middle school students. As soon as the kits arrived, the architects began to build and the engineers "applied force" to show why their structure would not stand. It has sparked some lively discussion and is helping everyone to be able to understand and verbalize the concepts of structural engineering. The bracing wires are fairly easy to get tangled and some of the pieces are quite small, so I agree with the suggested age recommendation, especially if without adult supervision.
It is very helpful and important to learn structural design.
Mola Structural Kits 1, 2, and 3 offer an outstanding hands-on experience for exploring the fundamentals of structural mechanics. They enable users to visualize and experiment with complex concepts clearly and interactively. Combined with a structural mechanics course, these kits provide an invaluable bridge between theoretical knowledge and real-world application, making them perfect for students. Highly recommended!
Best quality and delivery on time
As Civil Engineering instructor, the Kits are very useful in demonstrating the theories of structures. The students can easily understand the concepts. The kits are highly recommended.
