Qubits offers a special discount to teachers - here's the code!

Have you ever heard of Qubits? They are the easy-to-assemble, snap-together toys that teach about modular design and geometric shapes. If you're a teacher, you can now get a special discount code to save 20% on your order of Qubits!

Qubits were created by Mark and Lisa, a husband and wife team who used their backgrounds in architecture and design. Qubits are a science toy that mimics the structure found in nature, with its triangulated system. Qubits toys let kids know that geometry can be fun, artistic, colorful and challenging! Qubits' unique building system offers practice in math skills related to positioning, patterns, spatial reasoning and logical thinking.

Qubits are also useful to older age groups when applied to middle school projects involving STEM activities and ROBOTICS! Semi-permanent and durable contraptions can be built. It uses your imagination for power.

Qubits are one of the few toys that actually fit into the STEM/STEAM educational philosophy. The Qubits website explains:

The basis for the toy comes from studies completed at the University of Arizona - Department of Architecture. At that time, the compact modular building unit was presented as a construction solution for a South Pole Research Station. The design won the National technical award from the U.S. Judging Committee.

Years after that, Mark became a registered architect in the State of California, working on dozens of beautiful projects in Southern California. Then as parents, Lisa and Mark decided to turn the patented geometry into a children's toy.

The structural system is extremely stable and strong and it can construct functioning pieces of sculpture or design that won't disassemble on impact if you add zip-tie connectors. For example, the Qubits Rover takes about 400 pieces and it weighs 6 lbs. - it can be towed behind a bike at 25 MPH! The Drone can climb 300+ ft into the air and it is registered with the FAA. Towers of many different types can be constructed with Qubits. We even built a tower 17'-5" tall just to show how incredible our building system can be.

You can build bridges that are self supporting or if you add string to the design you can make a suspension bridge! We even built a windmill that could generate electricity! Of course we don't have specific instructions for all those ideas, but our Facebook is a great way to keep up with new ideas and the latest developments for this toy. There are several teachers who are currently developing advanced curriculum for Qubits. It's a Maker Toy for sure.

Benefits of using Qubits include:

• Discover the modular geometry found in nature;
• Strengthen small motor dexterity and hand-eye coordination;
• Enjoy imaginative play;
• Develop math skills related to counting, spatial reasoning and logical thinking as system allows children to build in different directions;
• Explore positional concepts: on, under, near, next to;
• Sort, count, and connect shapes in a variety of ways;
• Foster creativity with open-ended building possibilities;
• Build confidence as pieces are easy for small hands to hold, connect and take apart for construction success!
