Reconfigurable Pinball Machine STEM Experiment Kit for Exploring Physics, Force, Motion, Gravity, and Simple Machines

Explore the sweetest pinball machine ever created and dive into the world of physics and mechanical engineering! Build your own customizable pinball machine that utilizes edible gumballs as the pinballs. As the gumballs bounce off bumpers, slingshot around spinners, ring bells, slide down tracks, and whiz around the obstacle course you create, you'll learn about force, motion, collisions, gravity, simple machines, and more. The reconfigurable and reusable building system includes a wide range of obstacles, such as bumpers, slingshots, bells, and ramps, which can be easily repositioned to change the playing field, allowing you to test and refine your designs.

The pinball machine's spring-powered launcher and responsive flippers work just like their real-life counterparts, propelling the gumball pinballs up, down, and all around. A central ramp rotates to direct the projectiles into three elevated playing areas, ultimately leading them down the winning ramp, where the gumball can be claimed as a sweet prize. If a gumball falls out of play, a clever mechanism called an Archimedes screw stores them and moves them back toward the launcher, ready for a new game.

This project offers a fun, gamified approach to learning about physics concepts. Through trial-and-error experiments, you'll engage in hands-on learning, encourage creative problem-solving, and enjoy hours of open-ended play that's different every time. The kit comes with approximately 45 delicious standard machine-size gumballs, ready for you to start building and learning.

Whether you're a budding physicist, a future mechanical engineer, or simply someone who loves a good challenge, this customizable pinball machine is the perfect way to explore the principles of physics and engineering while indulging in a sweet treat. Dive in, get hands-on, and create your own incredible pinball experience!
