Witness physics in action with this 90-piece marble run set that gives you the classic starter set, a trampoline expansion, a loop expansion, and an bonus funnel and level.
The innovative marble run uses a specially designed system of flexible tracks that does not require any support structures. With Gecko Run, your doors, windows, cupboards, bookcases — virtually any smooth surface — can become part of the track, allowing students to build higher with fewer pieces.
With the help of clever nano pads, which work like nanoscopic suction cups, you can attach the tracks to surfaces and create a strong, temporary bond. Nano pads can be quickly and easily repositioned many times without using damaging adhesives or leaving sticky residue. A quick wipe with a microfiber cloth will keep your pads ready for action!
The versatile tracks are made from renewable, durable, and sustainably sourced raw materials. Thanks to their wide range of motion and flexibility, students can create hills and jumps and even turn corners to generate a limitless number of tricks and stunts. No two tracks they build will ever be the same! Each unique configuration promotes hands-on experimentation, supports problem-solving through trial-and-error, develops motor skills, and encourages creativity.
The set includes a 16-page illustrated manual that guides students through setting up their first run and teaches them how all the different elements work.
Compatible with other expansion sets (Snake and Twister), sold separately.
