Creativity and Construction through Cardboard Cutting

Project Title:  Creativity and Construction through Cardboard Cutting
Teachers: Miltona Staff
School:  Miltona Science Magnet
Students Impacted:  School-wide, approximately 130 students in grades K-5
Amount Funded: $728.00

This project provides safe, effective cardboard cutters for our young inventors. Intermediate-grade students can build various designs and prototypes to be tested. Primary-grade students can transform everyday boxes into castles, greeting cards, animals, or anything else imaginable. Students will construct 3D models, toys, and other creations from recycled cardboard, with the safety of the BeaverBot and the Makedo tools. Cardboard cutting and creation will promote hands-on learning, problem-solving, fine motor skills development, spatial awareness, and hand-eye coordination.
