The K'Nex Challenge is a fun design and build competition open to classes of primary children of all abilities. Pupils work in pairs to produce a specific design solution for a real-life problem such as building a bridge, carrying a load or demonstrating a mechanism. There are five levels in the competition: Classroom Challenge; Cluster Challenge; Area Challenge; Regional Final; National Final; From one level to the next, pupils' ability is stretched through learning new skills and going through more difficult challenges as they move up the levels. Area, regional and national final activities are judged by engineers who give useful feedback and enable the best teams to progress to the next level. The challenges are curriculum linked and can assist teachers to deliver aspects of the syallabus.
