Invented by a high school science teacher. HyperTiles are a radically fun new construction toy! Based on a mathematical shape called a hyperbolic paraboloid, HyperTiles are simple, super-versatile shapes that can be linked together in an infinite number of combinations. Unlike traditional building sets, HyperTiles connect in nonlinear and unpredictable ways, meaning the shapes you are creating are often like nothing you’ve ever seen before. Plus, hinging connectors allow many of the shapes to flex and rotate in on themselves in fascinating ways. Great kid's birthday gift or birthday party activity. Great for summer or afterschool camps. Great for math and science teachers.
