Curious kids experiment with strength and stability, building 20 models that demonstrate mechanical physics or structural engineering principles. The 36-page, colorful instruction manual makes it easy to learn about basic structural elements including columns, beams, trusses, plates, arches, shells, and catenary through hands-on construction. Experiments explore the forces acting on structural components including tension, compression, shear, and bending.
