Global Cardboard Challenge

4th Grade's Memorable Learning Experience

Background about Global Cardboard Challenge:

Global Cardboard Challenge is an annual event started in 2012, inspired by the response to the Caine’s Arcade film. Kids around the world are encouraged to build something awesome using cardboard, recycled material, and imagination, and then invite others to play. Please check out these websites to get inspired:

***Below is last year's note about our Global Cardboard Challenge. The DATES WILL CHANGE for this year.

Parents,

The 4^th grade teachers at Cibolo Green Elementary School have planned a fun project to inspire our students to use their creativity and apply science knowledge (like gravity) for the Global Cardboard Challenge. This will be a memorable project for our students as they create games with cardboard. This project will have 3 grades.
