"The minute I put it out their hands are busy creating. They're using it for discovery and when they create something, you can assign a tangible name or mathematical principle to it. They don't even know they're learning; as a teacher, that's exciting,"
-Elaine Mendelow, Cinnaminson, New Jersey

"Comments given by Irish Elementary students included: 'That really fried my brain,' 'where can I get these,' and 'I know what I would change next time.'"
-P. Diane Williams, Fort Collins, CO

"I am fascinated with polyhedra and have been trying to find some kind of construction kit for building them. It has been frustrating to discover that every other toy construction kit I've looked at has been restricted to angles of 45 degrees and 90 degrees!"
-Ralph Dratman, Zome System user

"Beautifully made - the perfect construction kit for icosahedral quasicrystalline models, and for many structures of mathematical interest."
-Roger Penrose, Oxford University mathematician

"Our best designers are kids."
-Marc Pelletier, Zome System Co-Founder

"I am a 'big kid' now who has enjoyed Lincoln Logs, Erector sets, and Lego all my life and had to purchase a sample kit (Adventurer Kit) to play with and see what it was like. I had so much fun with the Adventurer Kit I decided to buy the biggest one you have. It's just a play thing for me, but everyone who comes into my house sees it, is fascinated by it and has to play with it. I'm afraid to tell them they're probably learning something while they play. Thanks for such an innovative 'toy.' I hope my niece who just turned 8 gets as much enjoyment out of her Christmas present as I do!"
- Becky Allary, Zome System user

"This is the best thing to hit mathematics education for many years."
- Bob Fair, Mathematics Coordinator, Cherry Creek School District, Colorado

"My interest in geodesics dates back to when my hair was longer and my temper was shorter. I will probably just play with the Zomes (sic), but I do have a project to replace an inflated roof at a local university with a spaceframe (about 70,000 square ft) so I might use the Zomes (sic) to show my client what a spaceframe looks like."
-Peter Saitta, AIA Principal, PSA Architects

"You don't have to be a rocket scientist to enjoy Zome System. But we love it too!"
-Dr. David Noever, NASA Scientist.

"I have been interested in polyhedra for a while and find building polyhedrons a fascinating and stimulating activity. I've previously used ping-pong balls glued together to build polyhedra, but I like the modularity of Zome System. I originally intended to give the kit as a gift, but I'm afraid I may just keep it for myself!!"
-John Hebert, Zome System user

"Zome System was enjoyed by many different ages and stages of children at the Holiday Food and Gift Convention. It was a wonderful tool that helped imaginations fly freely."
-Kathy Grace, Director-Thomas Learning Centers

"Zome System considerably simplifies the procedure of construction and unifies the study of space frame structures into one coherent system, of great educational value in the teaching of solid geometry, science, art, engineering and architecture."
-H. S. M. Coxeter, mathematician
