And that was probably 35y ago.

The Education Kit gives your school 5 boxes full of unique construction materials. It includes educational material for various key objectives as well as manuals that are available in printed and digital versions. With the boxes, pupils can build an unprecedented number of structures, including 4 large pedal go-karts.</p> <p>"</p> <p><a href="http://education.infentorides.com/en/" rel="nofollow">http://education.infentorides.com/en/</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15153#post-193536 Sat, 18 Jul 2015 09:54:00 +0000 Arellcat 193536@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Anyone remember Fischertechnik? Twenty years ago it was like scientific LEGO made with aluminium extrusions. No-one ever <em>played</em> with it; it was for building robots and 3-D printers and things. It's gone a bit plasticky since then.</p> <p>Now a Dutch designer has scaled up the components, added pedals and wheels and things, and now you can design and build for your children their own bicycle, tricycle, recumbent trike, chopper trike, a Like-a-Skidoo, and probably a dozen other cool things!</p> <p><a href="https://www.infentorides.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.infentorides.com/</a></p> <p>If there's ever a miniArellcat, this is what they'll get for Christmas. </p>
