Cardboard Challenge

Imagination.org is a non-profit organization with a mission to foster creativity.  They started after the response to Caine's Arcade.  Watch the videos below to learn more about Caine's Arcade.

Caine's Arcade 2: From a Movie to a Movement

Now annually there is a Cardboard Challenge held on October 7.  

You can find great ideas from Imagination.org including blog posts and videos on how to get started.

Embrace the Chaos

The other great part about the Cardboard Challenge is you can also incorporate books which include creativity with the use of a box.  You might want to have your Cardboard Challenge center around a certain theme, curricular outcome or just let your student's imagination sore.
