My Project

I am asking for k'nex construction sets that can be used in classroom design and engineering challenges. My students are very hands-on learners. During our physics unit, my students are challenged to design and build a variety of different things.

Having students use their creativity and bring their ideas to life is an important part of the design process.

I want to incorporate the use of k'nex construction kits to provide this hands-on engagement.

Incorporating k'nex construction kits into the classroom will provide a high-engagement, low-impact resource for students to use in these challenges.
