Hands-on K'NEX 3-D Construction & Destruction Challenge

Budding structural engineers can put their creativity to the ultimate test at the Burrows Hall Library's K'NEX 3-D Construction & Destruction Challenge. Kids aged 6 to 12 are invited to team up, imagine, and construct lightweight, high-strength 3-D bridges using supplied K’NEX pieces.

The real fun begins when construction wraps up: structures are put through a rigorous evaluation process using a specialized "Bridge-Crusher" rig. Young builders will see firsthand how their design iterations perform by measuring strength-to-weight ratios, gaining practical insight into applied science, teamwork, and evidence-based design.
