Gizmos & Gadgets is an educational computer game designed by The Learning Company. It is intended to teach children introductory mechanics, namely simple machines, magnets, basic electronics, and forms of energy. The original game is compatible with IBM and Windows computers running DOS 3.3 or higher although a later CD release added Macintosh compatibility. A popular game through 1997, The Learning Company, then incorporated with Brøderbund, discontinued Gizmos & Gadgets in 1998.

Gameplay: The object is to build vehicles that win against Morty Maxwell's. When the player wins all 15 races, Morty must leave. There is a plot similar to that of Warner Bros. Wile E. Coyote. When Morty tries to take the Super Solver's trophy, the hook pops the blimp instead and the blimp goes skyrocketing away.
