Customer Reviews

Great intro into engineering.

This is the best early intro to engineeing I've ever seen. I used it with my son who has ended up as a physics major. The projects are both beautifully simple to construct and to anaylze contruction itself. Appropriate for mature 5 yr olds up to middle school.
