Marbles, Gravity, and Fun—Oh My!

Help me give my students a Gravitrax—where marbles roll, physics gets real, and learning is anything but boring!

My Project

Our robotics class is on a mission to build the coolest, most mind-blowing projects ever, but to do that, we need a little help from gravity! Enter Gravitrax, the ultimate marble run system that will teach my students all about physics, motion, and energy in a totally fun and hands-on way. Picture this: students designing marble tracks that defy gravity (well, kind of), figuring out how to make marbles zoom, loop, and fly—while learning all the important principles that power our designs!

Gravitrax sets will let my students experiment with real-world physics while applying those skills to their projects.

It's the perfect combination of fun, learning, and a tiny bit of chaos—just the way learning should be! With Gravitrax, students will experiment with speed, momentum, and even gravity itself, all while building creative, interactive tracks. Plus, it’ll help them see firsthand how things like energy transfer and acceleration work—skills that are vital to engineering and design! Please help us get this epic tool so we can build, test, and learn with a lot of laughs along the way.
