The Cardboard Challenge

Have you ever wondered how many things you can make out of cardboard?

Well on September 30, 2016 the 5th graders at Glenridge Elementary, answered that very question, as they did the cardboard challenge. The cardboard challenge is where you get to make whatever you want out of cardboard. The only limits are your imagination.

How it got started

The 5th graders at Glenridge watched this video to learn about the cardboard challenge. The video was called Caine's Arcade 2: From a Movie to a Movement. Thi video showed how this kid named Caine took his imagination to the next level. Caine was bored of being at his dad's workshop so he decided to make some games out of cardboard, and that's just the beginning.

The Launch System

Do think that making something out of cardboard is easy?

Well most of the 5th graders said that it was harder that they thought because they had to do the launch system. The launch system is your plan for how you are going to make what you are going to make. This is what the launch system looks like:

      

The Cardboard Arcade
After the 5th graders finished, it was time to show it off. So the 5th graders had the kindergarteners come up and play their game, almost all kindergarteners had smiles on their faces.

I hope that after read this you will what to do the cardboard challenge, and by doing the cardboard challenge you recycle and save the environment.
