Design and build your own marvellous marble run, as part of Manchester Libraries Summer Reading Challenge.

A marble run is a toy or game consisting of a track where marbles roll down through a series of obstacles, ramps, loops, and curves. For this challenge, you’ll connect a network of cardboard pipes to move a marble from start to finish as close to 10 seconds as possible.
