Basic Physics Made Simple Yet Fun
The UberPult™ Catapult Kit is just one of several kits available from Uberstix, LLC. It is quite similar to Kinex in some manners and will even work with Kinex pieces, yet it provides an entirely new avenue of creativity never seen before. With the UberPult™ Catapult Kit you have diversity with the fact of it will mate with other building systems. Most building systems hold a proprietary design which cannot be integrated with other building systems. To take it one step further, as you will soon see, the UberPult™ Catapult Kit even provides a means for you to learn some basic physics principals as you begin creating your first catapult, with endless possibilities of adaptations from the basic design you create! Now that is re-defining diversity!
Everything You Need...And Then Some!
The UberPult™ Catapult Kit comes with 181 pieces, but only requires 90 pieces to build your first catapult. This provides 91 additional pieces with which to upgrade and experiment with! No matter what your age, cognitive development is in constant need for development. Cognitive development is vital in a child but as we get older we still need further development to maintain and improve. You never truly have no need of further development of the skills which were so important in your childhood development. Whether child, tween, or adult, the UberPult™ Catapult Kit acts a functional tool to help maintain and improve cognitive and motor skills, along with creative skills as well. It provides everything you need to create your catapult and so much more to go with it, which makes it a valuable learning and development tool.
An Ultimate Educational Product
The UberPult™ Catapult Kit is just one of multiple Science Project Series products produced by Uberstix, LLC. Science is a standard class in schools, and projects such as UberPult, which are part of the Science Project Series, provides a unique new solution to teaching science to students. The students are learning while at the same time just having fun! When you consider the price point in comparison to other science products, you have a solution that is not just cost-effective, it is a product which produces productive results!
The Public Gives Their Hands-On Feedback
To help develop a solid, well balanced, and unbiased evaluation, the UberPult™ Catapult Kit was taken along with a number of other toys, games, and juvenile products for hands-on evaluation at a local mall in Las Vegas, NV. Considering the vast variety of product we brought at one time for evaluation, there was far less risk of any bias in the responses from the hands-on participants.
The UberPult Catapult pulled a varied yet positive response from our hands-on evaluation participants both verbally and in the evaluation forms. People were prompt to inquire where they could purchase one and/or what was the web site for the product so they could buy one! Now you cannot possibly have a more powerful example of what the UberPult is all about than that!
One of the evaluation participants whose name was Sharon, was a teacher according to her feedback form. Sharon was quite impressed with the UberPult Catapult. According to this teacher, "This is the perfect product for the educational environment!" She went on to say... "It will serve as a perfect catalyst to get the creative juices flowing in a student for constructive activity." Sharon was quite impressed with the UberPult Catapult just as so many of the other evaluation participants were as well.
According to many of the feedback forms received, many of the participants felt that with the product having so many pieces, it caused them to be uncomfortable with the idea of a mess to have to pick up, or pieces getting misplaced. That was soon to change. Our participants sat down and began building their own catapult from the materials we provided with the UberPult Catapult kit pieces. Soon afterwards they became too engrossed in the creation of their project to even think of their earlier concerns.
The end result was an overwhelming positive response from all evaluation participants who had an experience with the UberPult Catapult. The product was a winner with our evaluation participants.
A Breakdown Of Each Individual Category Score
While other organizations will define their ratings in a "blanket" method which simply defines each rating in an overall usage, we choose to take a different approach. Each individual rating that was assigned to this product, based upon our evaluation process, is briefly explained as to how that specific rating score was reached. The ratings for this product are listed below.
CRITICAL SKILLS DEVELOPMENT: Rating Level 5 - The level of critical skill development in a child when playing with the UberPult™ Catapult is easily determined. The UberPult Catapult kit ensures a child gets maximum stimulation to critical as well as cognitive skill development. The Uberpult™ kit proved to be a valuable tool in regard to critical skill development not just in children, but also served as a tool to knock the dust off the brain cells in adults as well. The UberPult Catapult pulled an easy "5" in this category.
EDUCATIONAL VALUE: Rating Level 5 - The educational value for The UberPult™ Catapult Kit was of the greatest level of measure. It has a variety of contributing factors to ensure both children, adults, or both get a maximum potential level of educational contribution. With each new project created, a person gains even greater knowledge and understanding of structure and basic physics which results in greater self-confidence and other positive attributes. In this category, the educational level is quite substantial and may very well become a favorite product used or recommended by public schools."
FUNFACTOR™: Rating Level 4 - How do you encapsulate what FunFactor™ is all about with the UberPult™ Catapult Kit? That's a tough question to answer. No matter what the age of the persons who participated in our consumer hands-on evaluation with the UberPult™ Catapult Kit, not a single person was not completely engrossed with the building of their project and appeared to be having an enjoyable time in their labors! The UberPult™ Catapult Kit was well up there in the ranking in regard to the level of FunFactor™ but fell short of a perfect score by a single digit. The reasoning for this is because although it was easy to see the participants were enjoying what they were doing, it just wasn't quite like the reaction you see when a person is playing with a game or a toy. The UberPult™ Catapult Kit pulled a "4" in this category.
INNOVATION: Rating Level 5 - The UberPult™ Catapult Kit was the very best in scoring in regard to innovation. Not a whole lot of product developers are eager to take on the challenge of developing a product which is not only educational, it contributes to creative skills and so much more. The concept of the design of the product is most unique in innovative concepts and is clearly a winner. In this category, the UberPult™ Catapult Kit pulled a perfect score of "5".
MARKETING VALUE: Rating Level 5 - The marketing value of the UberPult™ Catapult Kit was once again a perfect score. It is all too evident from our personal observation of the hands-on participants and from our feed back forms that the UberPult™ Catapult Kit puts the "H" in hot! Highly popular and educational at the same time, the UberPult™ Catapult Kit pulls the highest score available in regard to marketing value. It is a sure winner that will be an easy sell for retail stores.
VISUAL APPEAL: Rating Level 4 - When it comes to visual appeal, the UberPult™ Catapult kit posed a challenge. From the standpoint of the product out of the box, it obviously will not have a very strong visual appeal. At the same time, when you look at the unopened box which holds all the pieces within it, the imagery on the box creates a very strong attraction visually. With a pleasant combination of soothing yet eye catching colors, the UberPult™ Catapult Kit draws attention and encourages people to pick it up off the shelf. The scoring was well above average in this category, yet fell short of perfect by a single digit. This is due to the fact that although the packaging is visually appealing, it's just not enough to really pull a WOW! for everyone overall.
