Check out <http://www.intellecta.net/>. This is an Australian company
that has built a sizeable market in providing science workshops
to school children using, among other things, K'NEX
Sure, they might have tried LEGO, but they way kids in classrooms
treat any learning materials, cheap is better from a school's point
of view, and KNEX is easily replaced in any store as there are not so
many specialized pieces.
Also, DACTA is notoriously slow in getting any new products out the
door, and they seem like a poor cousin to the rest of TLG's efforts...
Cheers, Ralph
