Lisa and Mark Burginger owe a lot to Archimedes. Besides proving a laundry list of geometrical theorems, the Greek mathematician invented the icosidodecahedron and cuboctahedron — two impossible-to-pronounce polyhedrons that underpin the Hendersonville couple’s business, Qubits® Construction Toy Like LEGO bricks, Qubits are building toys that snap together to make castles, cars, catapults, and everything in between. But unlike its multi billion-dollar competitor, Qubits offers larger pieces that are made from pliable, food-grade plastic, which means they bend with a child’s imagination. Qubits were patented in 2005, and the Burgingers started selling the toy commercially in 2007, when Mark’s architecture work slowed to a halt. In July 2009, he took the concept to Shark Tank, the ABC reality show in which budding entrepreneurs pitch to a group of investors. With face-to-face learning limited for the time being, Qubits are also a parent’s saving grace. The hands-on manipulative is an affordable alternative to screen-based activities. Plus, Qubits are pretty much indestructible. “They are basically made from Tupperware,” says Mark. “You don’t see Tupperware breaking, do you?” And much like the container storing your leftover lasagna, Qubits are dishwasher safe. “That has been huge during COVID-19,” Lisa says.
