Engineering the world's greatest structures!

From gravity-defying spires to sweeping arches and intricate geometric masterpieces, the world's most iconic buildings showcase the perfect marriage of art and engineering. This unique STEM kit puts you in the architect's chair, teaching fundamental design principles through hands-on construction of both basic structural elements and breathtaking scale models of world-famous landmarks.

You'll start with the building blocks of architecture, like constructing sturdy trusses, elegant arches, and impressive domes to understand how engineers distribute weight and withstand forces. Then you'll be able advance to ambitious projects that will easily amaze family and friends, such as recreating the distinctive shells of the Sydney Opera House, erect a tabletop Eiffel Tower, or by designing your own towering skyscrapers, sprawling stadiums, and spinning Ferris wheels!

With 20 expertly designed builds included, you'll discover how modern architectural engineers push materials and mathematical principles to their absolute limits. Each project reveals the scientific thinking behind structural stability, load distribution, and innovative design solutions that make today's architectural marvels possible.

The detailed 44-page, full-color manual serves as your personal mentor, providing step-by-step guidance while inspiring creative exploration. Challenge yourself beyond the guided builds; how tall can your custom tower reach? What's the most expansive dome you can engineer? How far can your bridge span? The modular building system adapts to your imagination, turning engineering principles into architectural adventures that could shape your future career path!

This Engineering Kit includes:

  • 44-page full-color instruction manual
  • 26 hands-on experiments 
  • 308 unique pieces
