Cardboard Chomp

Help me give my students accessible and safe tools to engineer with cardboard.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. McNally's classroom raised $367

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students have been inspired by a once 11 year old boy who created an arcade in his dad's auto parts store entirely made from cardboard. Students will experience the engineering design process as they plan, build, test, and adapt their cardboard arcade games.

Students will have to put their creative and critical thinking skills to the test using these materials in a project based learning unit.

My students will be researching arcade games, creating detailed blueprints, and constructing an arcade game made with these tools and some upcycled cardboard. When the arcade is complete, students will share the games with the school in a day of arcade play.

Currently, students are using tools that are hard to use to cut up the cardboard pieces to construct their arcade games. This Chomp Shop machine will allow students to cut cardboard pieces that are much more intricate and precise. This machine is also designed to cut in a safe manner for all students to use without fear of a student getting hurt as they cut.

Since these tools are reusable, we'll put them to work year after year creating other fun and engaging projects.
