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

Grandson loved it!

On visit by grandchild, this was first choice. Properly challenging; great opportunity for child and adult to work together and discuss what makes a building project strong. We looked at pictures of Roman arches, of the Eiffel tower, of ancient and new projects. Super project.

realised the parts are enough for only 1 structures, instead of the all 20 ....... would be nice to make it clear in the product description, and also list out the models that can be built

My 13 year old son really enjoys this. Only downside, and the reason for 4 stars, is that the pieces are plastic; not metal. The picture on the box makes the pieces look like they’re metal, but they aren’t. They aren’t made of cheap, flimsy plastic, though. They’re quite durable and have plenty of flexibility. Overall, we’re quite satisfied.

The age range says 8 and up, but my budding 5 (almost 6) yr old builder loves it. He needs help putting some of the pieces together and especially taking them apart, but is increasingly learning to do so on his own. So far we've built the eiffel tower and the ferris wheel. They're remarkable structures--engaging, attractive, and remarkably illustrative of the power of different shapes in architectural enginneering.

This was a birthday gift for my 12-year-old grandson and he loved it. It was challenging and fun for him to assemble Quality all the way through.

I bought this for my 9 year grandson who loves to build things. I hope this will help him become the engineer he dreams of!

My grandchildren liked the two items that were similar. They just need more challenges with those types of things.

12 year old grandson, who wants to be an architectural engineer, loved it! He said it’s challenging but enjoys it nonetheless. I wouldn’t give it to a child who’s not already hooked on architecture.

Es un producto que funciona tanto si eres un arquitecto que quiere tener en su repisa un recuerdo que puedes remodelar de vez en cuando, si eres un profesor que quiere darle una utilidad en clase creando diferentes estructuras y modelos que no necesariamente sean los del manual, o si eres un padre y quieres involucrar a tus hij@s en el mundo de la ingeniería arquitectónica.
