Description
Winning bidder receives 1 Turing Tumble Game.
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!

Discover how computers work
Computers are full of ingenious logic and astonishing creativity. They're everywhere, but most of us don't understand how they work. With Turing Tumble, you can see for yourself how computers work: The logic isn’t hidden inside a computer chip, it’s right there in front of you.
Hands on, screen off
Have a blast learning to code in a language without words. Turing Tumble blurs the line between coding and building machinery. There's no syntax to learn, no abstraction, and no electronics at all.
Great for educators
Kids learn best when they use their senses to explore new concepts. Turing Tumble teaches coding strategy as well as abstract concepts like binary, binary operations, and logic gates in a fun, tangible way.
