CALLING ALL MAKERS! CARDBOARD BOX CHALLENGE!

on April 10, 2018

The 4th and 5th grade classes are participating in a cardboard challenge in honor of Earth Day. Students are creating a game that is primarily made out of a cardboard box. If you have not had a chance to watch the video, CAINE’s ARCADE, please do. The focus is to use RECYCLED MATERIALS, please don’t run out and buy items. Students will have class time to work on these projects. Also, the project will be graded as part of engineering design.

The end result will be for younger students to play and enjoy these games. We hope to invite  students to play our games at the end of the month. We also hope that we  model how recycled materials can  be used to inspire us to look at and create things “outside”  the “box”. Here are a few pictures from last year’s box challenge.
