Melodies in motion

Get ready for a musical challenge!

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to build a marble run that makes sweet music with a xylophone! Are you brave enough to take on this melody-making adventure? Necessary items: Xylophone (not included)

A quick tip before you dive into this challenge:
You might want to take a peek at the Starterset operation manual first if you’d like to brush up on the different starter set components!

Here are the steps:

  • Gather straws, marbles, connectors, carriers, mounts and possibly more components + a xylophone.
  • Design and build your marble run with straws.
  • Place the xylophone in a strategic spot in the track, so the marbles can fall onto it. How would you solve this?
  • Test the track and listen to the musical sounds that arise when the marbles hit the xylophone.
  • Improve the track if necessary to refine the sounds.
  • Play with the marbles and enjoy creating music as they roll through the track.
Remember that building a marble run is a process of trial and improvement. Be patient and enjoy the creative adventure.
