My Project

Our robotics class is all about dreaming big, building cool stuff, and sometimes asking, “Wait... why didn’t that work?” We’re learning by doing, failing, trying again—and having a lot of fun along the way. Now we want to add something extra awesome to the mix: Gravitrax.

It’s a super fun marble run system that lets students experiment with gravity, speed, and energy without even realizing they’re diving deep into physics.

They’ll be building wild tracks, testing out crazy ideas, and learning how motion and momentum really work—just by playing.

Honestly, it's the kind of learning that sticks—the kind that gets kids excited, curious, and confident. Plus, let’s be real: there’s something magical about watching a marble almost make the loop… and then figuring out how to fix it.

With your help, we can bring Gravitrax into our classroom and give students more hands-on, minds-on experiences that make science feel real—and fun. Thanks for helping us make learning roll (literally)!
