The toys are hyperbolic paraboloid shaped (HyPars is far less intimidating to say), and they are made right here in the USA. HyPars founder and creator, Denny Newland, is a semi-retired Nuclear Engineer and active inventor. In the early 2000s Denny was on a mission to invent a better 2x4. Did you know 2x4s are neither straight nor 2x4? In the pursuit of the perfect board he began using space filli
ng tetrahedrons and, as so often happens, this led to an “aha moment” and HyPars came into being! After 9 design iterations and a long patent process (patent #8,869,464, we’re so proud!) the current version of HyPars has been deemed worthy by Denny of sharing with the world. Denny’s youngest son and daughter-in-law, Isaac and Mitzi, are on the team and working to bring HyPars to every child, student, artist and educator looking for a fun medium to create great things.
