What makes LuxTM different than other construction manipulatives is its patented snapping hinge. Modeled after nature at the molecular level, LuxTM connects not through sticking or stacking, but through linking, and therefore gives the immediate experience of the world of kinematics. Kinematics is the study of linking chains, or "linkages". The universe is kinematic, where all bonds have the potential to move. Now this strange and wonderful moving aspect of our universe can be accessed in an experience and can be used as a means of explaining how the world works in very real concrete and amazing terms.
