Turning Tumble Resources

What is it?

An unplugged coding adventure in the form of a mechanical computer.

Students read through the puzzle book which has been laid out in the form of a comic. They complete challenges along the way.

They need to set up the turning tumble machine to get the marbles (blue & red balls) down through the machine in the correct order using a limited number of materials that are detailed in each challenge.

What is in the kit? What do I need?

In the kit you'll find:

  • Pre-assembled board

  • Board stand

  • Game pieces including marbles

  • Start button

  • Puzzle book

  • Pack it away laminated sheet

You'll need to provide:

  • A flat space to use the board on

  • Devices are not required but might be useful for watching the setup video
