K'NEX in the Classroom
K'NEX is a dynamic, open-ended spatial building system. We offer exceptional educational value through building and bringing models to life.
K'NEX sets work so well in the classroom that we've designed an entire contest around them: the K'NEXpert Classroom Challenge.
The K'NEXpert Classroom Challenge...
Helps young children build manipulative skills.
Challenges students to use science, math and technology knowledge and skills.
Encourages students to apply an organized, logical strategy as they design, build and problem-solve.
