Great Summer Project

I got this for my 10 year old who developed an interest in bridge building after a school assignment. Some of the string projects needed adult assistance but overall he had fun building the structures and learning some engineering basics.

Fue un regalo. Leí en las descripciones que el paquete llegaba abierto, usado o en mal estado, a mi me llegó en perfecto estado, la caja completa y sellada, súper recomendado.
