Build your foundation in Architectural design with this fascinating STEM experiment kit that explores the engineering principles behind planning and developing buildings and structures. Through model building exercises you play the role of architect and engineer as you piece together an array of models, from small, basic structural elements like trusses, arches, and domes, to giant complex models of real-world buildings. With 20 guided model builds, you can construct stadiums, skyscrapers, a Ferris wheel, and more. By getting hands-on with these exercises, you'll develop an understanding of how architectural engineers apply scientific principles to their designs and how the buildings and structures of the 21st century push materials and engineering to the limits. The 44-page, full-color manual guides your journey while encouraging independent exploration. What is the tallest tower, The most voluminous dome, or the longest bridge you can build with the modular building pieces? How will you use what you learn to further your architectural journey? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eFrom the Brand\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv style=\\\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0;margin:0;padding:0;line-height:0;font-size:0;\\\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\\\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/S\/aplus-media-library-service-media\/c3b21ee1-13b0-42d7-a960-02f2d4174ebd.__CR0,0,1464,625_PT0_SX1464_V1___.jpg\\\" style=\\\"flex:1 1 auto;min-width:120px;max-width:100%;height:auto;object-fit:contain;margin:0!important;padding:0!important;display:block;border:0;vertical-align:top;line-height:0;\\\" loading=\\\"lazy\\\" \/\u003e\u003cimg src=\\\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/S\/aplus-media-library-service-media\/a38a5cea-5f2e-41be-9048-d35249498dce.__CR0,0,315,145_PT0_SX315_V1___.jpg\\\" style=\\\"flex:1 1 auto;min-width:120px;max-width:100%;height:auto;object-fit:contain;margin:0!important;padding:0!important;display:block;border:0;vertical-align:top;line-height:0;\\\" loading=\\\"lazy\\\" \/\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt Thames \u0026amp; Kosmos, our goal is to provide fun, wholesome, educational experiences for kids and families of all shapes and sizes!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor over 200 years, our global family of companies has been refining the process of developing creative and innovative ways to inspire children—and adults!—to discover their world, ask questions, and try things for themselves, all with the goal of transforming that curiosity into knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eHow did we get our start?\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eThames \u0026amp; Kosmos was founded in 2001 when a Rhode Island science museum director and her son partnered with a 200-year-old German publishing house to fulfill the great need for science education materials that were more stimulating, effective, relevant—and of course, fun!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eHow do we support our products?\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur full-time team of in-house product experts is professional, knowledgeable, and responsive.
