K'NEX Bridges -Design and Build World Structures

The K'NEX Bridges Sets are versatile, made from reusable materials, and turn the process of using Popsicle sticks, toothpicks and glue to teach about bridges into ancient history. When a toothpick bridge fails under tension and compression, the opportunity to build on the experience and learn more is gone. With K'NEX Bridge Sets, however, students design and build bridges, test them for strength and stability, and then modify them based on points of stress and failure. All this in a matter of minutes, rather than the hours it takes for glue to dry. And K'NEX pieces can be used over and over again! Bridge building and structural design are taught routinely in elementary through college classes in the U.S. and abroad.

• Allows the educators great flexibility as they plan bridge or architecture curriculum with hands-on experiences for students.
