UBERSTIX UberTropolis #101

Go ahead, dream big, build big! UberStix pieces consist of eight components that are designed to snap together in a variety ways. Depending on how the connections are made, you can form solid joints, hinged joints, or flexible parts. UberStix are engineered to integrate with recycled materials. Add straws, coffee stirrers, paper cups, Popsicle sticks, paper clips, O-rings, plastic bottles, egg cartons and more. By using these additional materials found around your house, you are able to expand your projects and produce opportunities for unlimited creativity. Using this basic kit you can build towers and bridges and gain an understanding of cross bracing fundamentals. Then explore the amazing qualities of the Uberstix quark as you build the Mobius strip (the international symbol for recycling). With 160 pieces you won't build the same thing twice.

What other things can you do with this product? We've included some of our "outside the box" creative ideas below to help get you started... 

• UberStix can be used in a classroom or homeschool to create projects that teach the fundamentals of physics, math, aerodynamics, engineering and design.
• Create an UberStix challenge at home or in the classroom!

Compare designs to identify their strengths and weaknesses, then work on modifications.
