1. An article of educational equipment horizontally traversed by a human prior art comprising a) an enclosed rectangular shaped ladder consisting of i) two elongated, rigid, rectangular rails each rail of equal dimensions, ii) multiple rungs each rung of equal length, perpendicularly affixed to the interior side of each rectangular rail serving to hold the rails in a fixed parallel relationship to each other, and each affixed rung of a height substantially the same, and iii) two rectangular, rigid end boards equal in height to the rails serving to hold the rails in place and serving to hold the ladder in a raised or inclined position after being placed upon a raised apparatus, wherein the improvements to prior art result in a) a straight track comprising i) two elongated, rigid, rectangular rails each rail of substantially equal dimensions comprising elements used to effect a connection with a contiguous rail of another track, straight, arced, or curved, or used to effect a connection with a contiguous distinct end coupler comprising elements used to effect connections with contiguous rails of two or more tracks, straight, arced, or curved, thereby bridging the non-contiguous ends of the tracks, ii) each rail comprising elements located in whole or part at its interior side used to effect connections with steps, and iii) multiple steps each step readily detachable with a geometrically shaped colored footing, of substantially equal length, perpendicularly placed length-wise in an element located in whole or part at the interior side of each rectangular rail, and while connected to each rail incapable of rotating or shifting horizontally, serving to hold the directly opposing rails in a fixed parallel relationship to each other, and of substantially the same height, and said straight track excluding end boards as an element thereof removing an obstruction associated with prior art;

  • b) an arced track comprising i) two oblong, rigid, arced rails each rail of substantially equal height and width comprising elements used to effect a connection with a contiguous rail of another track, straight, arced, or curved, or used to effect a connection with a contiguous distinct end coupler comprising elements used to effect connections with contiguous rails of two or more tracks, straight, arced, or curved, thereby bridging the non-contiguous ends of the tracks, ii) each rail comprising elements located in whole or part at its interior side used to effect connections with steps, and iii) multiple steps each step readily detachable with a geometrically shaped colored footing, of substantially equal length, diametrically placed length-wise in an element located in whole or part at the interior side of each arced rail, and while connected to each rail incapable of rotating or shifting horizontally, serving to hold the directly opposing rails in a fixed equidistant relationship to each other, and of substantially the same height; and

    said arced track excluding end boards as an element thereof removing an obstruction associated with prior art, and c) a curved track comprising i) two oblong, rigid, curved rails each rail of substantially equal height and width comprising elements used to effect a connection with a contiguous rail of another track, straight, arced, or curved, or used to effect a connection with a contiguous distinct end coupler comprising elements used to effect connections with contiguous rails of two or more tracks, straight, arced, or curved, thereby bridging the non-contiguous ends of the tracks, ii) each rail comprising elements located in whole or part at its interior side used to effect connections with steps, and iii) multiple steps each step readily detachable with a geometrically shaped colored footing, of substantially equal length, diametrically or otherwise placed length-wise in an element located in whole or part at the interior side of each curved rail, and while connected to each rail incapable of rotating or shifting horizontally, serving to hold the directly opposing rails in a fixed equidistant relationship to each other, and of substantially the same height, and said curved track excluding end boards as an element thereof removing an obstruction associated with prior art.
