Young engineers boost STEM skills as they complete one hands-on challenge after another—from constructing a spinning windmill to building a solvable maze! Students simply choose a challenge card, use the snap-together building pieces to engineer a solution…and then test their creation, revising and retesting until their design is successful. Our kit includes over 250 building pieces and 10 double-sided challenge cards with possible solutions on the back. Cards measure 8 1⁄2" wide.

Great activity for all the kids

We use it for kids from Kinder to 5th grade and this set can be used for lessons in all the levels. The cards are easy to follow and kids enjoy working with it.
Yes, I would recommend this product.

Our 9 year old has been enjoying building with this. He likes playing with it but he did say the pieces were kind of hard to put together (compared to other building toys).
Yes, I would recommend this product.

Cool challenges
February 02, 2021 - By Julie
This was a great set requested by my 7 year old 2nd grader. We decided to go up a level since he is interested in STEM building projects hoping to get more life out of the toy. The front side of the cards give the beginning of the build and then present a challenge. The back side of the card offers one possible solution to the challenge. I would have given 5 stars if not for the frustration of the building pieces. If your child is used to the leading brand building blocks that stick very securely like magic, they might find this toy a bit frustrating as my son does because they do not stick together as well. A lesson in perseverance and patience perhaps.
Yes, I would recommend this product.

Disappointed
May 27, 2019 - By Swfrom NY
The blocks are difficult to attach to the gray base. The project cards are great, but given the price, I was expecting a better made product.
Yes, I would recommend this product.

keeps middle school interest
May 13, 2019 - By Julie Howe
I have this kit in my 5th-6th grade STEM center. The students enjoy the card challenges and have had a good time building a variety of items. It's hard to keep 5th and 6th interested in something--it can't be too hard or seem too childish. This kit is a good kit. My only complaint is the the bricks seem a bit hard to connect at times, especially to the plate. I also would like to see add ons available, such as additional challenge cards and a second plate.
