Corrugated Cardboard Tools

Help me give my students a great corrugated cardboard STEAM building challenge. We have a few tools for manipulating cardboard. But those are few and they make a rough cutting job. These tools would improve our projects.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Teaching in a Title I school, I have over 350 students that I reach, many are Native American. My Kinder through 5th grade students are fantastic. They have a desire to learn more and more. In my STEAM Activity position I get to bring different phenomenon alive to them. One of them is building with cardboard. If we are to improve our projects, we need better tools.

My older students want to make cat towers and robots while the younger students want to make houses and cellphones.

All of their ideas are wonderful and fantastic. But the tools we currently have are rough and hard to use. Thus I am asking for your help.
