Zometool, the 90's classroom culture classic is now available on Neoballs.com. It's the only product that we've used that's as geometrically expressive as magnetic spheres, and in some aspects even more useful due to their rigid geometry. You can't bounce, crush or bend them like magnet structures, so 'tool' is an apt description. Good luck trying to imagine the machine that molds the hallow Zome connector. Aside from being a marvel of injection-molded manufacturing, the 62 sided universal Zome ball is what makes it the most advanced ball and stick connector system. Red rods connect to the 12 pentagonal sides of a dodecahedron. Yellow rods connect to the 20 triangular sides of an icosahedron. And blue rods connect to the 30 rectangular sides of of a rhombic triacontahedron. Zometool is a quintessential left brain scratcher developed before 'STEM' was even coined. Fans of symmetry, clicky satisfaction, spatial visualization, and the golden ratio, should apply. A great starter set BASIC is designed to provide a first experience with Zometool's open-ended creation system. Fair warning: If your child gets hooked you will be needing a larger kit!
