This document discusses the importance of STEM skills for careers in manufacturing. It notes that 41% of manufacturing jobs grew in 2011 and are projected to increase further in the coming years. However, 57% of manufacturers say jobs are hard to fill due to a shortage of skilled workers. STEM jobs pay more and have lower unemployment rates. The future of manufacturing relies on training more students in STEM skills that are applicable to 80% of future jobs. Manufacturing companies contribute greatly to private R&D and patenting. K'NEX supports STEM education through classroom sets that teach concepts with hands-on building and problem solving.

KNEX is Americas only building STEM solution. We design and provide over 25 KNEX Education STEM sets for classroom use. Each set provides a complete STEM solution, focusing on STEM concepts taught in sequences that build upon each other and have real-world applications. Teacher guides include lessons that challenge students as they build. This hands-on, inter-disciplinary approach creates lifelong learners who can solve problems, think critically, work collaboratively and adapt to change in todays technologically evolving world.
KNEX Brands, LLC Our Story Since 1992, Rodon has manufactured over 31 billion parts for the K'NEX building toy system KNEX controls approximately 10% of the U.S. construction toy market KNEX manufactures more than 90% of its core construction system in the U.S. The KNEX family of brands includes KNEX Building Sets, KNEX Thrill Rides, KNEX Education, Lincoln Logs, TINKERTOY, NASCAR, Angry Birds, Mario Kart Wii, Mario Kart 7, Super Mario and more.
Rodons turnkey operation designs, tools, and manufactures your part, utilizing state of the art technology and automation Design - Uses cutting edge CAD/CAM and 3D modeling technology. Tooling - EDM/CNC machining centers and details performed by highly skilled tool makers who fabricate molds to exact tolerances. Manufacture - 106 state of the art presses utilizing robotic functions produce world class injection molded components at globally competitive prices.
Commitment to American Manufacturing Over the last year alone, we have repatriated several hundred million parts from China. We are active members of the organization American Made Matters, whose mission is to educate consumers about buying US-made products to help strengthen the American Dream.
97% percent of people think America-made products are better 76% are more likely to purchase a Made in the USA product If every American spent an extra $3.33 on U.S. made goods, it would create almost 10,000 new jobs in the country.
