Turing Tumble is an innovative game that allows players aged 8 and above to construct mechanical computers powered by marbles to solve logic puzzles. By assembling components such as ramps, crossovers, bits, interceptors, gears, and gear bits, players can create marble-powered computers capable of generating patterns, performing logical operations, counting, and executing arithmetic functions like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
The Turing Tumble Educator Classroom Bundle is designed to facilitate collaborative learning for up to 30 students, providing 15 complete game sets. This setup encourages teamwork, enhances critical thinking skills, and builds confidence among students.
This hands-on, screen-free approach provides a tangible understanding of computer operations, making it an excellent educational tool for teaching coding principles, binary operations, and logic gates. Turing Tumble is widely used in educational settings, with over 3,500 schools incorporating it into their curricula to give students a deeper grasp of computing concepts.
Overall, Turing Tumble offers an engaging and educational experience, allowing players to explore the fundamentals of computing in a fun and interactive manner.
Examples of use:
- Example #1: Creating a Basic Pattern
- This computer is the solution to a puzzle where the objective is to create a computer that makes the pattern blue, blue, blue, red, blue, blue, blue, red...
-
Example #2: Counting in binary
- When you reach puzzle 21, binary numbers are introduced into the puzzles. In the following picture, a number is represented by four bits. To read the number from the bits, all you have to know is that the top bit is worth 1, the second bit down is worth 2, the third bit is worth 4, and the fourth bit is worth 8. Simply add together the values of the bits that are pointed right.
- Example #3: Addition
- Puzzle 37 introduces addition. The computer for this example contains two numbers: a 3-bit number on the left (which starts at a value of 5) and a 4-bit number on the right (which starts at a value of 6). When the computer runs, it adds the two numbers together and then stores the sum (5 + 6 = 11) in the number on the right.
- Example #4: A more complicated pattern
- Here's one of the more difficult puzzles. The goal of this puzzle is to create a pattern that starts with a group of 2 blue balls, then a group of 4 blue balls, and then a group of 8 blue balls, with each group separated by a single red ball.
Bundle contains:
