"Qubits is an excellent constructional toy which will
develop not only hands-on expertise in small children but
also a keen awareness of shapes, patterns as well as
engineering structures. These are essential abilities
that children must learn if they are to have an intimate
awareness of the devices that abound in this highly
technical age"

I like the design of this geometric system. I would say
that these (Qubits) models will encourage people especially
youngsters to learn of the fascinating patterns of nature
in an intuitive and playful manner that overcomes the fear
of mathematics. In doing that they can encourage creative
thoughts and new lines of enquiry into our present schemes
of engineering matter in a non-natural way.
