Cardboard Challenge 2015

Another great year of the Cardboard Challenge!  Inspired by the YouTube video "Caine's Arcade", our 5th grade students, under the direction of Jen Larussa in the CLIC lab, designed, redesigned, and built their own cardboard creations.  Working in teams, they had to agree on a concept and then construct it.  Sounds simple, but it is always fascinating to me to watch how they grapple with the design problems that arise, not to mention how to work as a team.  Bringing their ideas to reality is no easy feat.  Here are just a few excellent examples of that creativity from our classroom:

All in all a really great afternoon of creativity.  Amazing what a little cardboard and duct tape can let loose.
