The Pitsco 39069 Aluminum TETRIX Heavy-Duty Channel is made of aircraft-grade aluminum and measures 416mm long to provide a robot's structural base for students in grades 9-12 building TETRIX robotics projects. The channel is made of 2mm thick aluminum for durability. Aluminum resists corrosion and tarnishing, and is lightweight. The hole pattern on this structural piece enables students to connect pieces together at angles, as well as horizontally and vertically. The channel can be cut to different lengths, drilled to add holes, or bent for custom designs. It measures 32mm x 32mm x 416mm (H x W x L). (H is height, the vertical distance from lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; L is length, the horizontal distance from front to back.) TETRIX products reinforce science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) concepts for students in grades 9-12 studying robotics and building a working robot that demonstrates engineering, simple machines, force, and Newton's laws of motion. Aluminum channels can be used in an educational setting to provide the body structure for a robotics project.

Science education products incorporate applied math and science principles into classroom and homeschool-based projects. Teachers in pre-K, elementary, and secondary classrooms use science education kits and products alongside science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) curriculum to demonstrate STEM concepts and real-world applications through hands-on activities. Science education projects include a broad range of activities, such as practical experiments in engineering, aeronautics, robotics, energy, chemistry, physics, biology, and geology.

Pitsco Education develops K-12 science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) curriculum, educational kits, and classroom tools. The company, founded in 1971, is headquartered in Pittsburg, KS.
