Structural Engineering & Earthquake STEM Lab

A complete structural engineering STEM Learning Lab for teaching how buildings and bridges gain strength, stability and earthquake resistance. The programme contains 20 lessons: 16 guided model-based lessons and 4 project lessons.

Students explore supports and cross-members, building frames, bridge trusses, skyscraper stability, arches, flexible and rigid structures, cable-stayed bridges, balance and structural geometry. The advanced lessons introduce earthquake simulation, frequency and amplitude, seismic reinforcement, base isolation and vibration damping.

Teaching resources include a student workbook, digital teacher guide, Smart Manual web service with interactive 3D building instructions and model-operation videos.

Suitable from age 7. The set contains 428 components. Learning outcomes include structural reasoning, load distribution, experimentation, observation, design iteration, spatial thinking, creativity and problem-solving.

Teacher training for educators is included in the price. Price includes Estonian VAT (24%).
