Answer

Research has shown time and again that using physical manipulatives is a much more effective means of teaching difficult subjects like mathematics. We use the same concept. With models and tactile feedback, in combination with our kit-based workshops, the brain can engage auxiliary memory systems and create more neural connections that improve learning and retention.

Put simply, you know that getting your hands on the parts and doing the work is how you learn best. The model rigging kits give you functional models of the same pieces you have on the job site.

Answer

You are using your hands as part of the learning process, not just to click the mouse or scroll down a webpage.

Answer

The kit components are made of safe and common thermoplastics used in 3D printing.

Answer

The kits are not rated for any load, nor are they intended to lift anything other than TactiLearning’s distinctive load boxes and the included cylindrical loads. These are model rigging components designed for training, not lifting.

Answer

Each kit has the necessary components to complete the workshops that go with them. The specific number of components is listed with each kit. Additional or replacement parts are available.
