Product description

Do you ever wonder how bridges span huge distances and how skyscrapers stay standing? Structural engineers use physics and their knowledge of the properties of building materials and geometric shapes to design structures with sufficient strength and stability. With this kit of modular building pieces, you can learn the basics of structural engineering by conducting a series of 20 model-building experiments. Each model demonstrates a basic principle of mechanical physics or structural engineering in a hands-on way. Start out with small models that demonstrate how structural elements can be attached together to maximize the strength of a structure for a fixed amount of material used. Learn about basic structural elements including columns, beams, trusses, plates, arches, shells, and catenary. Explore the forces acting on structural components including tension, compression, shear, and bending. Move onto building more complex models of trusses, roofs, and small buildings. Experiment with different types of bridge construction: a truss bridge, arch bridge, cantilever bridge, rope bridge, and suspension bridge. Finally, build models of towering skyscrapers. What is the tallest tower you can build using only the pieces included in the kit? Learn about the strength and stiffness of materials. See how structural engineers optimize factors to maximize safety, and minimize cost and the risk of structural failure. A 36-page, full-color manual guides you through model building with step-by-step illustrated instructions.

• Build 20 different models that each teach about force, load, compression, tension and more

Structural Engineering: Bridges & Skyscrapers

Do you ever wonder how bridges span huge distances and how skyscrapers stay standing? Structural engineers use physics and their knowledge of the properties of building materials and geometric shapes to design structures with sufficient strength and stability.

With this kit of modular building pieces, you can learn the basics of structural engineering by conducting a series of 20 model-building experiments. Each model demonstrates a basic principle of mechanical physics or structural engineering in a hands-on way.

The Models: Bridges

After kids build small models to demonstrate how structural elements can be attached together to maximize the strength of a structure, they can move on to building more complex models and experiment with different types of bridge construction: a truss bridge, arch bridge, cantilever bridge, rope bridge, and suspension bridge.

The Models: Skyscrapers

First kids can follow the instructions to build two different towering skyscraper models. Then, they're tasked with using their imagination and the knowledge gained from their model building to build the tallest skyscraper they can, using only the pieces in the kit. Further information goes into detail about five types of skyscraper structural systems and the maximum number of floors that can be achieved with each type.

The Manual

The 44-page, full-color manual provides detailed step-by-step instructions for assembling the 20 models in the kit. After constructing each model, short experiments pose questions to get kids thinking like a structural engineer.

User questions & answers

Question:	Don't have and iPod or an MP3 player can you still have music
Answer:	I used my cell phone which is an android (blu brand) and it worked although the volume was really low. I think it would work better with an ipod or mp3 player meant to play music.
Question:	I do not have an ipod or an MP3 player but do have a samsung galaxy 4...would the mp3 light feature work with my phone? please let me know
Answer:	It came with an auxiliary cord so it should work from the music on your phone. My son said that when plugging that cord into your phone it produces the music through a speaker that came with it, but it is very quiet. However, it does make the lights flash to the music. He said that playing the music into the microphone allows you to hear the music better.
Question:	My son broke the flying disc, where would I purchase another? Do they sell replacement parts
Answer:	Some replacement parts are available on eBay, and you might also search the dollar stores. Try to see if your little scientist or you can make one using a round margarine container lid.
Question:	Which is better set, the light exploration kit or the arcade kit that sells for a little less on Amazon
Answer:	Hello- So much depends on interest. The Light is one of the top selling Snap Circuits but doesnt have the coding/programming component that Arcade has. Both are great kits.

User questions & answers

Question:	year old
Answer:	I am not sure if you are asking whether or not this is a good present for a 6 year old or not. But, my son is 6 years old and he absolutely LOVES this set. His 13 year old sister actually likes playing with it as well. We are so impressed with it, that when he is complete with all of the projects, we are considering getting one of the more elaborate sets. If anyone has a 6 year old boy interested in this type of stuff, I recommend getting a set.
Question:	Should i start my almost 6 year old with this set or with the SC-300 (I have a consignment store bought one in my closet)? Does the "junior" matter
Answer:	I bought my 7 year old the jr and now wish I had opted for a bigger set. If you already have the 300, I would use that one. They sell an upgrade kit that takes the jr to a 300, so if you bought the jr and then gave the 300 to your child, you'd be duplicating half the kit.
Question:	I see mostly children ages 5-7 are getting this. Do you think a 12 yr old would appreciate this
Answer:	My kids are 10 & 12. They Love it! Plus it has upgrades to keep them happy when they get through the lesson book. Personally, I would not get this for a 5-7 yr old....it's electricity...no matter how safe they've made it.
Question:	years old
Answer:	I bought it for my (advanced) 5 year old son. He loves it. I helped him with the first 2 projects and then after that I let him build each one and would show him if he made a mistake and how to correct it. You will definately have to explain to them what is going on though because they are too young to understand that from the manual themselves. Otherwise the parts snap together really well, the instructions aren't that hard and after each project, he likes to move parts around to see what changes.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this sturdy enough to play with once it’s built
Answer:	Yes, I gave this particular puzzle to my son in law and he and his friends have had a lot of fun playing with it. It is not something that can be banged around a lot but it is strong enough to use to entertain friends with. Some of the more tenuous junctions I put together with glue. It is an enjoyable puzzle project.
Question:	Putting this together and unfortunately, the verticals piece with the 3 gears is warped, so the bottom 2 gears won’t stay in place. Ideas how to fix
Answer:	Dear friend, Very sorry for this issue. You can contact us(Rolife) throught your order,we will give you best after-sale service and arrange you replacement of warp piece. Looking forward to your reply. Have a nice day! Best Regards.
Question:	What size is the after assembly
Answer:	It’s approximately 8 or 9 inches tall at it’s highest point and I would say approximately an 8”x8” square. My husband enjoyed putting it together but it no longer is operational. Some of the pieces were warped when we got it and he had to make them fit. It worked at first, but the pieces did not hold up.
Question:	Our kit is missing the wax- any suggestions on what we could use as a substitute- it is not working without it
Answer:	How about a silicone spray? I gave this as a gift so I did not assemble it and don't know about the wax. If it directs you to certain places to apply the wax, then I think a silicone spray would work just fine. You could apply it sparingly, not just spray the whole think, but that might work too. Check out a hobby store or hardware store. Good luck.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this set one that is found in the simple machines combo set
Answer:	Sorry, I’m not sure. I bought it by itself. The kids loved it, especially the catapult.
Question:	What are the pieces made of
Answer:	Sorry, I don’t know. It was a gift, did not open the package. The pictures showed pieces were similar to Lego pieces.
Question:	Can I get the instruction manual for this separately
Answer:	The instructions are available on Engino's website but not the educational portion.
Question:	Which one of these kits is the best to start with
Answer:	Good question. It depends on the interest of the child. If they really like cars and trucks, I recommend starting with the Wheels Axles and Inclined Planes. If the child in interested in building things, I recommend the Buildings and Bridges. If the child is interested in motion and movement, Newton's Laws might be best. If the child in interested in how things work, Levers and Linkages, or Gears and Worm Drives might be best. If the child has a broad set of interests, you might consider getting the Simple Machines (it cam make the projects from the other kits). I don't believe that you can go wrong starting with any of the different sets.
