Extraordinary Gifts: UberArc

 Uberarc Architectural Series Empire State Building

UberArc is the ultimate building tool. Whatever your age, you have to agree, this set is just plain cool. The UberARC 3200 series includes 24 pages of blueprints to build a tower almost 8 feet tall! They are also made from recycled materials--water bottles, paper cups, straws--so your environmental impact is minimal. 

This professional construction kit gives children a chance to hone their skills in spatial intelligence and problem solving. Using authentic blueprints, young builders create foundations and make representations of actual skyscrapers—or they can design their own buildings!

Kids can also apply for a building permit online that will show them the seismic and wind loads for their proposed skyscraper. They can even pinpoint the location on a map with the name of their skyscraper displayed to other UberARC builders! How cool is that? 

Kids love it, but it is perfect for architects, engineers, contractors and anyone who loves to build big. Check out some of these great videos to fully understand UberArc awesome-ness!
