cardboard challenge

The fifth graders at Proctor created, designed, and built cardboard creations inspired by Caine's Arcade and the Cardboard Challenge. What is the Cardboard Challenge, you ask? Check out the video about Caine and his amazing cardboard arcade.

Caine's Arcade Video

Isn't that an incredible story? Caine's creativity is contagious. 

The fifth grade watched this video and discussed the importance of creativity. They also learned about the engineering/design process. With their homeroom teachers, the students brainstormed, sketched, and developed ideas for their own cardboard creations.

The students utilized the CLIC room for three days to design their projects. They taped, cut, positioned, taped, painted, and taped their cardboard. (They did a lot of taping..)

​Here are a few students working on their projects:

​Once the projects were finished, the fifth graders had the opportunity to share them with the entire school. For the first half hour, they were able to go around and play the games other classes had made. For the second half hour, the fourth and sixth graders got to play, while the fifth graders were in charge of running and explaining their creations. Fun was had by all!
