The cookies we create are temporary. Besides the basic ones that let us store your site preferences, some let us analyze site behaviour and some let us determine the impact of our advertising. That is, which types of ads are working and which types are not.
These cookies are essential for proper site function. They include things like the language you prefer, the country your IP address is from (so you can view the correct version of the page), and whatever cookie preferences you choose here.
These cookies help us understand behavior on our website and are critical to help us see which of our advertising and marketing efforts are working.
We advertise on a variety of platforms including social media and internet search providers. These sorts of cookies and the information we share lets platforms match you with your social media or internet search account (we can't see that information, only the platform can). That's helpful because it allows the platform to indicate whether our ads resulted in purchases or not. Then we can optimize the way we serve ads so that we aren't wasting money on ineffective ads. The platform also isn't driving you crazy with completely irrelevant ads. This doesn't make you get any more ads, it just makes the ads more relevant to you.
Turing Tumble is a new type of game where players (ages 8 to adult) build mechanical computers powered by marbles to solve logic puzzles. Use ramps, crossovers, bits, interceptors, gears, and gear bits to build marble-powered computers that can generate patterns, do logic, count, add, subtract, multiply, divide, and much, much more.
See how simple switches, connected together in clever ways, can do incredibly smart things. Discover how computers work!

My students are super engaged!
I run enrichment groups for gifted 4th graders. We studied the binary number system and I bought the educator bundle of the Turing Tumble to complement they unit. "How is this a computer?" they ask. We're getting to that. They are totally into it, working together to solve the problems, loving the trial and error, and having lots of "ah ha!" moments. As the challenges get harder, we'll see how like a computer these things are. We love this!

My students love this!
My 3rd and 4th grade gifted students love playing with Turing Tumble! They worked in pairs to solve the puzzles and were so proud of themselves when they were successful! I enjoyed watching them talk through the process and try out their ideas. The sound of the marbles falling was described as 'satisfying' :). It's been an all-around big hit!
