Arcade Cardboard Challenge

Help me give my students supplies to create a cardboard arcade for their school community.

  • $550 goal

My Project

The Global Cardboard Challenge started in 2012 with over 270 Challenge events organized in 41 countries. Last year’s Challenge had over 120,000 participants from 46 countries. The project challenges my students to build something awesome out of used cardboard!

My students will be innovators and problem solvers as they use paint, tape and creativity to build a cardboard arcade for their school community.

The ability to dream, take chances, and create the things we imagine… these are the skills of entrepreneurs, innovators and change makers. Children are born with these exceptional talents, but research shows that over time they begin to lose them.

In addition to the basic supplies of paint and tape, I am asking for the fidgets, bounce balls, glow sticks and prizes to stock the cardboard arcade.
