Grades 3–8
Develop engineering and problem-solving skills and see physics in action with the student-led learning and creative challenges in the Gecko Run Set.
This innovative marble run uses a specially designed system of flexible tracks that don’t require support structures. That means your students can turn doors, windows, bookcases, or virtually any smooth surface into part of their track.
Tracks attach to surfaces with the help of nano pads, which work like tiny suction cups to create a strong but temporary bond. Nano pads can be quickly and easily repositioned without leaving a sticky residue, so your students can iterate their designs as many times as they’d like.
Tracks have a wide range of motion and flexibility, so students can create hills and jumps and even turn corners for a limitless number of tricks and stunts — no two tracks are ever the same! Each unique configuration promotes hands-on experimentation, supports problem-solving through trial-and-error, develops motor skills, and encourages creativity.
The 16-page illustrated manual offers a guide to setting up your first runs and explains how all the different elements work.
Tracks are made from renewable, durable, and sustainably sourced raw materials.
WARNING: Choking Hazard. Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
