Gecko Run | Marble Run STEM Edition 8+

Take marble-run engineering off the table and onto the wall with the Thames & Kosmos Gecko Run Marble Run STEM Edition! This innovative vertical marble run and physics STEM toy uses flexible tracks and reusable nano-adhesive pads to turn smooth vertical surfaces into an exciting engineering playground. Instead of building towers to gain height, kids can attach the tracks to smooth surfaces such as doors, windows, cabinets, whiteboards, and bookcases. Then experiment with track placement and exciting elements including a loop, trampoline, funnel, and lever to control how the precision steel marbles race, bounce, fly, and change direction. The STEM Edition adds structured engineering challenges that encourage kids to experiment with gravity, motion, momentum, speed, physics, trial and error, and problem solving. There can be many solutions to each challenge, making Gecko Run great for creative thinkers who enjoy designing and improving their own builds.
