Discover the engineering secrets behind strong buildings and bridges with the Engino Discovering STEM: Structures – Buildings & Bridges kit! This engaging set is designed for budding engineers aged nine and up, providing a practical introduction to the principles of structural design. Using the unique Engino building system, children can construct various types of bridges (like beam, arch, truss, and suspension bridges) and different building models, learning how shapes and materials contribute to stability and strength.

The Engino Structures Kit allows hands-on exploration of concepts such as tension, compression, and the effectiveness of different structural elements like trusses and arches. A comprehensive booklet includes detailed instructions for building multiple models and explains the relevant engineering theories and real-world applications. The Engino Discovering STEM: Structures – Buildings & Bridges kit helps develop spatial reasoning, problem-solving skills, and an understanding of how structures withstand forces. Build impressive models with this educational Engino Structures Kit.

Frequently Asked Questions

The set builds 9 working models in total, covering the main bridge families - beam, truss (over-deck and under-deck), arch, cable-stayed, and suspension - plus a structural house and a pyramid. One set of 195 precision snap-fit parts is used to construct each model in turn.
Both options are available. A printed curriculum booklet is included in the box, featuring 10 pages of theory and real-world facts, 4 pages of hands-on experiments, 18 pages of step-by-step building instructions, and a 2-page quiz. The Engino kidCAD app also provides interactive 3D build guides for all 9 models, accessible on iOS and Android.
No batteries are needed. All 9 models are non-motorised builds, so children can get straight to assembling as soon as the box is opened. The snap-fit Engino components connect without tools, making the set suitable for independent builders aged 9 and over.
