knex - Power & Play Motorized 529 pieces 50 builds

Encourage hands-on learning and creative expression with the K'NEX Power & Play Motorised Building Set, a dynamic resource designed to engage children in meaningful, construction-based play. With 529 versatile pieces, including rods, connectors, wheels, and a battery-powered motor, this set allows children to build up to 50 unique models, from vehicles to amusement rides and rockets.

Perfect for learners aged 7 years and up, this set offers a powerful introduction to motion and mechanics while supporting a wide range of STEM-aligned activities. The included motor lets children bring their builds to life with movement, transforming static structures into interactive creations. Whether following the detailed instructions or inventing original designs, students will develop important foundational skills across engineering, design, and creative thinking.

The compact storage case makes classroom organisation easy and also enables learning to extend beyond the classroom. Ideal for group work, centres, or individual projects, this K'NEX set transforms imagination into working models that deepen understanding of real-world physics and technology.
