We offer short- and long-term creative model building courses to schools, activity clubs and learning centers for after-school and Saturday classes. Topics of each class can be coordinated to support each school's STEM/STEAM curriculum. 

​​

Classes can be taught in English and Chinese. Duration of class ranges from 60 to 90 minutes depending on the school's timetable.

​​

We suggest a term-long course of at least 8 weeks for students to get familiarized with building principles and physics, to explore their building interest, and to create a K'NEX creation of their own.

​​

Creations can then be displayed at school or be entered into competitions. For more information on competitions, please see keep an eye on our Competition page.

Every month we organize volunteering activities for families and students to visit children from low income families who may not have adequate educational resources. Through building K'NEX, young volunteers help children increase knowledge in STEM, build their self-confidence through building and creating, and help develop their academic as well as life skills, in problem-solving, communication, teamwork and more.
