Filmed at an international conference of prominent architects and engineers at Columbia University, Graduate School of Architecture in September 2007. After its role in the last century's call to a radical new architecture and urban life, glass architecture is today more ubiquitous than ever. A highly engineered product, glass has emerged in a new light as an apparently culturally accepted material in design and construction. Its new incarnation,...

Rescue a toy bear from a well! Our kit presents real-world design challenges & asks aspiring scientists & engineers to find solutions that work! Students plan, build, test and then improve their designs…while teachers use the detailed lesson plans to explain key concepts and help students troubleshoot design flaws.

Elementary tinker kit encourages play, problem solving and inventing. Make a race car, a cable car, a three-wheeler, a motorcycle or use your imagination to build something all your own with MakerStudio gear set. The goal with MindWare Keva Brain Builder is to recreate 2-D patterns into 3-D structures. The 2-D cards show the design from different angles highlighting the front, side and overhead view and increase in difficulty from beginner to expert....

Children learn to think like real scientists & engineers—as they design, build & test a floating raft while teachers use the detailed lesson plans to explain key concepts and help students troubleshoot design flaws! You even get career cards that apply what kids are learning to the real world!

This set includes 35 challenging opportunities to create wild ZOOB contraptions. ZOOB is a moveable 3-D modeling system, unlike any other building toy. All of its pieces snap, click and pop together to form joints that rotate, axles that spin, limbs that extend, and lots more. There's no limit to what you can create!
