Build it. Test it. Fix it.

Take your neural networks to the next level with the Nerbie Circuit Pack - designed for deeper exploration, longer pathways, and real problem-solving.

With a mix of healthy (Nerbie) and damaged (Derbie) neurons, this set lets you build complex, branching networks and discover what happens when communication breaks down.

What’s Inside:

• 4 Nerbie (Healthy Neurons)
  • Multiple strong, directional connections
  • Two dendrite connections + two axon connections
  • Build stable, branching signal pathways
• 2 Derbie (Disrupted Neurons)
  • Limited and weaker connections
  • One dendrite connection + one weak axon connection
  • Interrupt and destabilize signal flow
• Flexible, articulated axons and dendrites
• Embedded directional magnets (axon → dendrite only)
• Magnetic cell bodies for surface mounting (whiteboards, fridges, and more)

Color Set:

• 2 Mint Nerbies
• 1 Pink Nerbie
• 1 Orange Nerbie
• 2 Blue Derbies

What You Can Do:

• Build longer and branching neural networks
• Introduce failure points with Derby and observe breakdowns
• Diagnose and fix unstable pathways
• Experiment with structure vs stability
• Build circuits on flat surfaces or vertical spaces

This is the first step in understanding how brain disorders can disrupt communication between cells.

The Challenge:

Can you build a circuit that still works…
even when disruption is part of the system?

Why This Pack Stands Out:

• Moves beyond simple connections into systems thinking
• Demonstrates both how signals travel, and how they fail
• Encourages problem-solving, iteration, and discovery
• Combines hands-on play with real scientific principles
