Super sweet stunts! Build your own gumball machines and learn physics lessons in the process. A turn of a handle dispenses one gumball at a time out of the clear storage globe and down the track. The gumballs land in a collection cup and can easily and sanitarily be returned to the globe for another run. As the gumballs roll down the track, they perform cool stunts and tricks. Stunts include a pulley lift, pendulum, funnel, trampoline, variable-slope ramp, pinball launcher, and domino slide. Trial-and-error experiments teach in a fun, hands-on way. Will your gumball successfully make it to the end of the track, or will you have to reengineer your gumball machine to make it work. The kit works with standard machine-size, 16-mm (5/8-inch) gumballs and includes a small supply of gumballs to get started.

Learn important mechanical physics lessons by building your own gumball machines. Gumballs perform cool stunts and tricks as they roll down the tracks. Combine and assemble the pieces into an almost limitless number of configurations.

  • Build your own gumball machine with this science kit that’s part marble run, part roller coaster, part pinball machine
  • Each segment of track teaches a different lesson in mechanical physics, exploring topics such as simple machines, force, motion, momentum, gravity, Newton’s laws, energy transfer, and more
  • Track segments are modular and can be easily moved around to create an almost limitless number of different gumball machines
  • A Parents’ Choice Silver Award winner
  • Skill Level: Novice

Build your very own vending machine! With this engineering kit, you build a toy vending machine that sorts coins, dispenses candy or other small prizes, and doubles as a coin bank. Follow the step-by-step instructions to assemble the machine, then test and configure it to get it working perfectly. Load your vending machine with all kinds of small candies or prizes. This awesome machine has four main interactive segments: First, insert real coins into the slot at the top, turn the knob, and have fun watching them get sorted as the coins fall into an interactive coin track that performs stunts where they slide down ramps, make jumps, and ring bells. Next, the coins fall into a device that allows you to make your “purchase” with the push of a button. Finally, your prize pops out of the machine, and the coin falls into the bank, sorted into neat stacks by denomination. The vending machine can sit on a tabletop or hang on a wall. Includes a small key to access the compartments to make refilling a snap. Explore lessons in physics, math, and mechanical engineering as you build, and learn about gears, gravity, forces, motion, collisions, and more! A fun, gamified approach to engineering lessons with a sweet candy reward AND STEM fun and learning!
