Dec 17, 2007 -- /prbuzz/ --BEND, OR December 15, 2007 - - The Qubits Toy Company has created the newest construction toy on the market. Aptly named the, The Construction Toy of the Future, this dynamic new entry into the toy industry is gaining popularity with teachers, professors and of course - children all over the world. A simple plastic toy that can be built-up using a unique patented modular geometry. It quickly captures the imagination of children who might have visions of becoming architects, engineers, scientist or even nanotech designers.
As a father and an architect, the inventor Mark Burginger, realizes that math and science can be intimidating mentally, "But if you can put something in the hands of a child, they will be able to comprehend things better and have more fun.", he says. "Toys influence children," said Mark,"For me, it was Lincoln Logs — that's what inspired me to go into architecture. Hopefully Qubits™ will inspire kids todays children to expand their horizon to include chemistry and nanotechnology.
The name Qubits™ fits this toy nicely because the geometry has been found to relate to nature. Snowflakes, crystals, and nanotechnology discoveries such as the Bucky Ball can be created with this geometric educational toy.
Qubits™ stands for quantum bits, Burginger said, which are a unit of measurement in the realm of science that includes the development of semiconductors used to make the technology of cell phones or computers. Just as coal can become diamonds when its atoms are rearranged, Burginger says Qubits helps children understand the possibilities in rearranging nature's building blocks. "I always want to associate Qubits with science," Mark said. "That's what makes my toy different from everybody else's."
The Deluxe Qubits™ Construction Kit can be purchased on the website, www.Qubits.com. |
