Another building set but this one has the Smithsonian name
on it so it provides it with a bit more panache. As opposed to Legos, this set does not
provide specific instructions on how to make a project. It does provide a general book of instructions
showing how the pieces can be used together and recommending which are better
for what purposes. It is recommending a
process for inventing and creative thinking.
It is most definitely a teaching toy that realistically should be a
child/parent project.
