Turing Tumble is a hands-on educational puzzle game that teaches the principles of logic and computer science through mechanical components. It was created by Paul Boswell and launched as a Kickstarter campaign in 2016.

The game consists of a board with pegs and mechanical parts, such as gears, switches, and ramps. The goal is to solve puzzles by arranging these components in a way that performs specific tasks.

Turing Tumble is named after Alan Turing, a renowned mathematician and computer scientist who played a key role in developing the theoretical foundations of modern computing. The game aims to introduce players, especially children, to the underlying principles of computers and programming in a fun and accessible way.

By playing with Turing Tumble, individuals can develop problem-solving skills, logical thinking, and an understanding of basic computer science concepts like binary code, algorithms, and computational thinking. It provides a hands-on experience that bridges the gap between abstract concepts and tangible, interactive learning.
