Build-Your-Own Pinball Machine STEM Kit
Build-Your-Own Pinball Machine STEM Kit — hand-picked for the shelves at Kites of the Harbor in Sag Harbor, NY.
Hands-On Construction: Follow the step-by-step illustrated manual to assemble your pinball machine. You'll learn fundamental mechanical engineering concepts as you connect parts, set up mechanisms, and bring your creation to life.
Physics in Action: As you launch gumballs into the playfield with a spring-powered shooter and control them with responsive flippers, you'll observe real-world physics! Learn about force, motion, collisions, gravity, and simple machines in a fun, interactive way.
Customizable Playfield: The magic doesn't stop with building! Arrange and re-arrange targets, obstacles, bumpers, spinners, and ramps to create countless unique layouts. Experiment with different designs to see how they affect gameplay and gumball trajectory.
Sweet Rewards: Hit the right targets, send a gumball up the rotating ramp into an elevated area, and guide it down the winning ramp to claim your sweet prize – a delicious gumball!
Continuous Play: Don't worry about gumballs falling out of play! An ingenious Archimedes screw mechanism collects them and brings them back to the launcher, ensuring endless rounds of gumball rally action.
Includes Gumballs! The kit comes complete with approximately 45 tasty gumballs to get you started on your pinball adventures. When you run out, simply refill with standard 16mm (5/8-inch) gumballs.
