Give your child an edge in STEM with the K'NEX Education STEM Explorations Toys!

Building with K'NEX puts children on a path toward a fundamental understanding of STEAM/STEM subjects. K'NEX Education sets come with lesson plans and experiment guides written by educators that feature hands-on, inquiry-based projects. All teacher guides and experiment guides are aligned to national standards, including ITEEA, NSES, NCTM, NGSS, and Common Core.

K'NEX Education sets let students build replicas of real-world machines to gain an understanding of the principles that make them work.
