The Gorgeous Mola Modeling Kit Will Make a Real Engineer Out of You

• Wired.com by Megan Molt

A degree still entails becoming an expert in things like load, leveling, tension, and stress—and students are expected to learn hand-drafting and model construction. But Brazilian architect Márcio Sequeira de Oliveira thought there was a better (and better-looking) way for wannabe-engineers to grok structural mechanics.

He calls his solution Mola. It's the first structural modeling kit you'll want to snap a selfie with, regardless of your major. Its sleek, sproingy parts beg to be played with and the subtle design belies the serious engineering concepts it so beautifully illustrates.
