My Project

Cardboard is often seen as disposable packaging, but to a young artist, it is like moldable clay.

This project challenges students to reimagine and repurpose cardboard into 3D sculptures, portraits, and puppets.

Through hands-on, students will learn cardboard engineering skills: scoring, folding, and attachment techniques.

Cardboard construction can be a bit tricky with students using utility knives safely. The CHOMPSAW bundle will change everything. It is designed specifically for younger creators, these tools allow students to cut and engineer designs safely and independently.

Your support will provide the essential safety equipment needed to build spatial reasoning, environmental resourcefulness, and engineering confidence. Help us turn simple recycled boxes into masterpieces!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
