Cardboard Engineers Laying the Foundation for the Future of Engineering
Help me give my students a Construction Toolbox, STEM Toys, and Makedos to feel like real engineers working just like architects, engineers, and builders all in a single project.

My Project
Students in my classroom use cardboard in grades K-8. Some of the greatest creations in my class have come from cardboard creations. Makedo allows students to use tools, design and use bolts to attach their cardboard creations. It is one thing to give students cardboard and tell them to create something. Now students will have the opportunity to use the Engineering Design Process to tinker, fail, and redesign so that their build comes out perfect.
Help support the next generation of engineers as their dreams become a reality.
I am so excited to offer my students all of the same tools builders use in their daily lives in the classroom setting. The Makedos will allow me to inspire the next generation of engineers through PLAY, design and construction. Isn't that the vision of all STEM education?
