Design & Build Engineering Centers

What makes a bridge strong? How do vehicles roll, tow and carry things? Our engaging building centers teach kids to look closer at real-life designs—and make original structures that use the same important elements! Created to encourage open-ended building with minimal teacher involvement, each center includes 8 photo cards showing actual bridges, vehicles and buildings, plus tons of hands-on manipulatives that invite children to build, explore and engineer—again and again! For easy reference, the back of each photo card explains key elements for each design—so it’s easy to guide children’s learning. You get all 3 centers shown, for a total of 670 building pieces and 24 photo cards. Each center comes in an 11 1/2″ plastic storage tub. Each center also available separately.

Topics include science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
