JIX is a construction kit comprised of small modular elements that are specifically designed to allow standard drinking straws to be connected together, in order to create a wide variety of constructions. The JIX connectors come in flat grids which easily snap apart, intersect, and lock into place. They can be used as single elements or they can be snapped together to create 3-D star shapes, which allow for more complex structures. With JIX you can build everything from ambitious room-sized structures to intricate table-top sculptures, all using JIX connectors and drinking straws.
