Lego Technic /ˈtɛknɪk/ (stylized as LEGO Technic) is a line of Lego interconnecting plastic rods and parts. The purpose of this series is to create advanced models of working vehicles and machines, compared to the simpler brick-building properties of normal Lego. In addition to encouraging creativity, Technic is also intended as a tool for children to learn some basic principles of mechanical engineering.
Lego Technic was first introduced in 1977 and underwent significant changes in around 2000. It is one of Lego's top-selling themes.
