Future architects, engineers, and rocket scientists will love using this versatile construction system that utilizes principles of physics and mathematics to build, float, and fly their wildest projects! Where did the inspiration for Uberstix come from? "I was traveling with my eight year old son and on the way to the hotel we stopped so he could buy a block construction toy hang-glider with his allowance. It came with one of it's popular characters and he could not wait to build it. He was disappointed when he opened it and realized that it was representational...It wasn't meant to fly I saw this as an opportunity to teach him about problem-solving, and so we went on a scavenger hunt and 20 minutes later with some paper, tape and a small straw, we had built a working hang-glider for the cool character. He played with it for hours, flying it off the second floor balcony. That was the spark that became Uberstix... building models of boats that would float and sail, planes that would fly and buildings that would be structural and as tall as your reach allows!"
