K'NEX is one of the most successful construction kits in the world,
second in popularity only to Lego. It is based around a series of "Rods", which
can be joined together by "Connectors". Once participants have mastered using
these simple components, children and adults can use their imagination to make
potentially millions of different working models.
Building K'NEX models
helps children and adults to understand subjects such as structures, forces and
simple machines, in the way that Meccano educated an earlier generation.
However, Meccano was aimed and advertised exclusively at boys, whereas both
girls and boys find K'NEX easy and enjoyable to use. K'NEX can also often be
used effectively by children with learning difficulties, once they have mastered
the basic techniques for joining Rods and Connectors together.
Children
of all ages are familiar with K'NEX as it is as widely used at school as it is
in the home.
