ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS

What makes Engino different from other building toys?

Engino was founded on a mission to make teaching and learning core STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) skills as intuitive, creative and fun as possible. To make that vision a reality, we had to create an educational toy that does more than any other STEM toy.
Engino’s patented snap-fit connectivity and multi-directional pivots allow young learners to build in any direction they want from up to 6 sides simultaneously.
We’re the only STEM toy that uses extendable rods, which means young learners can easily convert 2D structures into 3D designs, make triangles, or change the height or width of their constructions just by extending or shortening their rods.
Every Engino part is compatible with every other Engino part, so when children are done building their models, sets can be combined for hours of creative freestyle play.
Our revolutionary interactive 3D building app - the only app of its kind on the market—lets young engineers build and take apart their models in virtual reality.
Snappable parts take traditional stacking to the next level, giving growing hands a comfortable building tool, while boosting hand-eye coordination and spatial thinking.

What will children get out of Engino?

Children who play with Engino STEM toys and building sets learn critical thinking and developmental skills that will prepare them for a lifetime of intellectual discovery.
Engino’s STEM and STEAM building sets are designed to boost spatial thinking, hand-eye coordination and creativity from the age of 2 and up.
Building with Engino science toys means young learners are working together in groups to find solutions to real-world problems and learning how to delegate responsibilities to execute complex projects.
Engino is based on an enquiry-based learning philosophy, where children are encouraged to fill the gaps in their knowledge by applying theory, which turns them into creative problem solvers.
When young learners progress through the Engino Learning System, they not only become better thinkers and problem-solvers they learn how to think creatively. Engino Kids are truly ready to be tomorrow’s global innovators.

What makes the Engino Learning System special?

Starting with the early tactile experiences of building 3D structures by hand and reaching the highest levels of creative problem solving in the sciences, Engino is a complete STEM learning system that can be used at home or in the classroom
Whether you’re a parent or an educator, when you give your children an Engino science toy, you’re giving them a deep dive into the world of STEM discovery that covers everything from history and fun facts to design, experimentation and theory.
If you’re an educator, you can read more about integrating Engino into your classroom with ready-made, easy-to-teach lesson plans here.
Parents can explore the Engino Learning System for home play here.

What’s the right age to start playing with Engino?

Children can start experimenting with Engino as soon as they have the hand-eye coordination to snap together our blocks. We have  starter sets designed for kids ages 2-6 . As young learners’ skills and curiosity grow, we have a kit for every step along the way. Check out our complete range of science toys here.

Are Engino science toys safe?

We take children’s safety very seriously. Every year, Engino products are  tested rigorously by independent laboratories  to ensure they meet all safety standards for toys, including EN71, EN62115 and PAHs for Europe, and ASTMF963-11 and CPSIA for the USA.

Are Engino products eco-friendly?

Like all scientists, the engineers at Engino are passionate about a green future, and about making products that promote environmental awareness. All our parts can be recycled and our battery-free solar products are completely powered by solar panels. Our award-winning  Eco Builds  series combines sustainable beech wood and recyclable plastic parts.

Are all Engino products compatible with each other?

Yes! This is one of the reasons that parents, teachers and kids love our products. Engino uses the  same library of durable, high-quality parts for all its product lines , so children can combine sets to build larger structures or enjoy hours of freestyle creative play when they’re done building all the models in their kits. The sky is truly the limit.

Are Engino products compatible with other products on the market??

Engino is a completely new way of building with its own learning system and philosophy, so our parts won’t work with any other products.

How many models can I build with my Engino sets?

This is where Engino stands apart. Each of our home sets comes with instructions to make  at least 3 different models . With our classroom sets, you can build a  minimum of 50 models . You’ll always find full-color printed instructions for our basic models in the booklet that comes with your kit. But you can also find instructions to build additional models on our website. These extra online instructions can be downloaded for free in our eShop.

Can I order replacement parts or manuals, if I lose mine??

If something gets lost, you can buy spare parts, instructions, and books by visiting our  eShop or by contacting us.
