Gecko Run elevates the classic marble run experience with innovative challenges and more flexible building options. Unlike traditional marble runs that require numerous pieces to create height, Gecko Run allows you to utilize any smooth surface as part of your track, such as doors, windows, and bookcases, thanks to its specially designed flexible tracks system. These tracks can be easily attached to surfaces using nano pads, which mimic nanoscopic suction cups, creating a strong yet temporary bond without the use of damaging adhesives or sticky residue. Plus, they can be repositioned multiple times with ease, simply requiring a wipe down with a microfiber cloth to keep them in top condition.
The versatile tracks, crafted from renewable and durable materials, offer a wide range of motion, enabling you to design tracks with hills, jumps, and corners for an endless array of tricks and stunts. Each track configuration supports hands-on experimentation, problem-solving, and motor skill development, fostering creativity in both kids and adults.
The Gecko Run Starter Set provides everything you need to embark on an exciting engineering adventure, including 12 tracks, 7 marbles, 40 nano-adhesive pads, levers, a funnel, and more. An illustrated manual guides you through setting up your first runs and understanding the components, allowing you to witness physics in action firsthand. For added fun, the set can be used independently or combined with expansion packs.
Key Features: - Design vertical marble runs without the need for support structures - Attachment to smooth surfaces with nano-adhesive pads - Endless configurations and educational benefits - Tracks made from renewable materials - Includes over 60 pieces in the Starter Set
Recognitions: - Winner of the 2024 ASTRA Play Award in the Building category - Named a Top Summer Toy by Toy Insider in 2024
Gecko Run offers a dynamic and engaging way to explore engineering concepts while fostering creativity and hands-on learning for all ages.
