| Gecko Run |
| Description:
Gecko Run takes classic marble runs to the next level with new creative challenges and less restrictive building requirements. Gecko Run uses a specially designed system of flexible tracks that does not require any support structures. Attach the tracks to surfaces with the help of clever nano pads, which work like nanoscopic suction cups, to create a strong, but temporary bond, which also means less clutter and mess on the floor! The pads are not glue-based, so they can be quickly and easily repositioned many times without any damaging adhesives or sticky residue. The unique configurations promote hands-on experimentation, support problem-solving through trial-and-error, develop motor skills, and encourage creativity! Educational: Develop engineering and problem-solving skills, and see physics in action. Tracks made from renewable raw materials. |
