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!
This is the standard Turing Tumble kit, which includes everything you'll need to start building computers (no batteries required):
Computer board
Computer stand
30 Ramps
10 Bits

I bought one and needed more! This kit is so engaging for my students I had to order more. I love the book of challenges and they can go at their own pace.

Fantastic product, great fun and great learning
What a great idea. Got it for our twin 11 year olds and they loved it from the first moment. I'm having too, helping them with any tricky bits, but mostly I just get in the way. Watch out for delivery schedule though. Costs a relative fortune and then it goes into a slow, black hole. The twins got lucky with 2 presents this year because it looked like TT was going to be late so I got them a backup gift too. It did arrive just in time, in the end, but quite a ride.

13 yr old LOVES it
My 13 year old received the Spintronics activity for Christmas last year and then heard about the Turing Tumble. He had it on his birthday list for months and has really enjoyed it. He's currently stumped on one that even his dad who is a mechanical engineer hasn't been able to help with yet.

Turing Tumble
Kids loved it initially, but struggled with the booklet not really understanding the coding portion or how the game relates to the book.
Need to be a better explanation as to how to read the coding pattern.
