    JOVO Click 'N Construct toys are a fun and educational way to explore polygons and polyhedra. They fit together with a click and hold together well, to form strong models. Children and adults will enjoy working with these shapes to form mathematical models, and creative shapes. This site will explore some of the many possibilities, and provide information on how to purchase JOVO sets in the U.S. Click on the links below to get started. Note, if you need to learn more about working with JOVO, or need help getting a VRML viewer, check out my Help Page.

    Thanks to Robert Webb for his very cool "Stella" program. I have used it extensively to generate VRML files for my site. It is a great tool for rapid exploration of augmentations and excavations of polyhedra (among other things).

    Thanks also to Melinda Green and Don Hatch for their excellent Tyler Web Application. This free web tool lets you do great flat designs with polygons in just about any arrangement.

    Thanks also to the Friends of Jovo for linking to my site, so people can find me out here on the Internet!
