At first glance Turing Tumble’s tagline “Build Marble Powered Computers” might bring to mind that this is some kind of computer, laptop, desktop, iPad, etc. Think again, Turing Tumble is an electricity-free educational experience, if you don’t count the neurons in your brain working overtime trying to figure out how to make marbles fall in the correct pattern. Parents and kids alike were wowed by this unique and brilliant new STEM learning tool. Not really a game or a toy, it is more an ingenious mechanical coding…device. Testers told us that their logic centers were in high gear and their eyes mesmerized by the falling of the marbles against the white surface and through the colorful pieces. The challenge is to place those directional pieces just right so that the pattern of colored marbles matches the “assignment” in the instruction book which is as brilliant as the product. The anime-style storybook/directions are a great addition and really bring the experience to life. It connects the concept to the activity perfectly so that when you complete each challenge and to see the end result of the red and blue marbles in a perfect pattern, it is a truly satisfying thrill. Parents told us that they loved the time they spent together with their kids figuring out solutions. It is a fascinating and valuable lesson about how your brain solves problems which you might have previously thought only computers could do.
