Experience how computers function without screens or code using Turing Tumble, a mechanical computer powered by marbles. Participants will solve logic puzzles, explore how circuits and logic gates operate, and build a deeper understanding of how hardware runs software.

 

Learning Objectives

By the end of the session, participants will be able to:

1. Explain basic logic operations (AND, OR, NOT).
2. Construct mechanical logic circuits using Turing Tumble.
3. Demonstrate how a series of logical instructions produces output.
4. Compare mechanical and digital computing methods.
