Description

Endless Engineering Fun on Any Magnetic Surface

The National Geographic Magnetic Marble Run is a wildly creative and interactive STEM kit that takes marble mazes to a whole new level. With 42 tracks and connectors17 trick pieces, and 15 marbles, this set offers infinite combinations and endless opportunities for dynamic, hands-on fun. Designed to be built on any vertical magnetic surface—like fridges, lockers, whiteboards, or workbenches—this one-of-a-kind marble run brings excitement and innovation to engineering and physics exploration.

 

How It Works

Using the innovative magnetic connectors, kids and adults alike can design and build intricate marble mazes with astonishing chain reactions. Start by selecting a combination of tracks, tricks, and connectors, then arrange them creatively on a magnetic surface. Place a marble at the top of your course and watch it navigate the twists, turns, and obstacles you’ve created. Experiment with different setups, adjust pathways, and add new challenges to keep the fun going. Each track and trick piece has unique properties, but how you use them is entirely up to you—the possibilities are endless!

Learn While You Play

This isn’t just a marble maze; it’s a hands-on engineering kit that encourages problem-solving, creativity, and collaboration. As you build and fine-tune your track, you’ll explore concepts like Newton’s laws of motiongravity, and energy. The included illustrated Learning Guide provides fascinating insights into the science behind the fun, helping you think like an engineer while you play.

 

Perfect for All Ages

The National Geographic Magnetic Marble Run is designed for both kids and adults, making it a fantastic way for families, friends, or coworkers to connect and collaborate. Its Rube Goldberg machine-style play is not only super satisfying but also a great way to spark curiosity and creativity.

Convenient and Portable

The set’s unique vertical design means less clutter on the floor, and the included durable storage bag keeps all the pieces and marbles safe and secure. Whether you’re building in the kitchen, office, or classroom, this marble run is easy to set up, take down, and store.

The National Geographic Magnetic Marble Run is a thrilling and educational STEM kit that combines creativity, engineering, and physics in one engaging package. With its endless possibilities and collaborative appeal, it’s the perfect way to inspire young minds and bring people together through the magic of play!

What our experts think

Children found this magnetic marble run highly engaging and greatly enjoyed the design and testing process. They were subsequently thrilled with their successes and motivated to redesign by unexpected results. Our testers loved the unique features that allowed them to design, build, and execute the marble run on a vertical metal surface. This gave the tracks a more dynamic appeal. They persevered through the engineering challenges of designing a track with non-connected pieces. The instructions and learning guide posters provide examples of basic to more complex courses that inspire the children. Children can start with basic route designs and increase the complexity at their pace. This set is excellent for hands-on, kinesthetic learners. The National Geographic Magnetic Marble Run fosters the development of logical thinking, problem-solving skills, and hones fine motor skills and executive functioning. Further, it invites socialization and teamwork when children work in pairs or small groups to expand on each design together. Children greatly enjoyed playing together to create their masterpieces. This set is an ideal activity for family and peers.
