I would agree with the assessment of "edutainment game that is actually quite fun and creative" as I did end up playing this in elementary school, since a few science teachers found it and decided it would be fun to show off as a demonstration of basic physics and engineering principles, and I would often sneak off to play it during recess.

Also, I learned to enjoy certain forms of classical music from it as the introduction from Modest Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition" is featured throughout.
God yes. I think I'm actually recognizing more of the background music than I am the actual game mechanics.

I remember mostly making elaborate death traps for the kid you can place in the contraptions. Like an elementary school Jigsaw.
Half of this was me, the other half was making large, beautiful vistas using artistic placement of different wall types, backgrounds, and puzzle pieces. Mountain ranges, pirate ships, and so on.
I mean, as puzzles they were 100% useless but they looked very nice.
