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.
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.
This tool is so fantastic. It is really helpful during the teching and learning process. Students can easily understand the mechanism of certain structural members by using this model.
This innovation significantly enhances the educational experience for structural engineering students, providing them with cutting-edge tools and methodologies.
