Build BIG Dreams in Industrious New Ways!
Future architects, engineers and even rocket scientists will love using this versatile construction system that utilizes principles of physics and mathematics to build, float and fly their wildest projects! The flexible, yet sturdy links, crossbeams, and connecting panels interlock to form rigid structures that soar. Best of all, each piece connects perfectly with plastic water bottles, egg cartons, straws and lots more to expand building potential. The Uberpult Set lets you build a working catapult. Combine with the Übertropolis Starter Set, Übertropolis 101 Set and Übertropolis 601 Set for virtually unlimited fun! Ages 8 and up. "This month our science museum, The Discovery Center of Idaho, opened the in-house exhibition Structures which offers the visitor a variety of opportunities to learn about the structural characteristics of architectural shapes. We have table-top exhibits demonstrating the properties of things like trusses and arches and we have large-scale versions demonstrating these same principles. Amidst these offerings is a six by eight foot table and a rack holding 15,000 Uberstix components. This is where the action really takes placevisitors of all ages are at work building structures of an amazing array of sizes and shapes. The versatility of Uberstix pieces allows them to incorporate trusses and arches or even helixes if they feel like it. Seeing people this engaged is truly one of the most gratifying parts of the exhibition.
