Playing & Learning: THAMES & KOSMOS

LEGO was my favorite toy growing up, always my first choice and I must dedicate a whole new post just for that topic but today I came across an article about Thames & Kosmos and I think I've found the toy that could have compromise my loyalty to my dearest LEGO.

T & K is a company founded in 2001 with a mission of making toys to improve informal science education. Their clever kits based on real-world devices and processes teach kids(10 and up)through manuals that read like science fiction novels, subjects such as: Chemistry, Physics, Environmental Science, Technology & Electronics, Biology, Earth Science & Natural History, Astronomy,and the list goes on. I am positive that Statics and Dynamics could have been a lot of easier at my physics class in college if I had come across one of these super cool kits growing up....
