YUS - Yet Unamed Snaps

myminifactory

Inspired by collectible toys called Tazos that I had during my childhood, I've created a simple construction system known as YUS (Yet Unnamed Snaps). These toys were small circular disks with different designs, such as Looney Tunes characters and Disney logos. I used to play with them at school and have a small collection of my own. Later versions came with notches that allowed for stronger throws and easier connections between disks. I was inspired by this experience when creating YUS, which consists of round disks with notches that can connect to other disks. I've made several versions with different designs, including letters, symbols, and smaller connectors. While building YUS, I realized it's a great way to teach programming concepts to students using simple LOGO instructions. I designed YUS to be easy to customize and print, so I can give the parts to my students and let them create their own designs. I've also included multicolored versions that can be used in conjunction with the MakeAnything technique shown in this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KV2AjyowXX4).
