Spring Cardboard Challenge set for May 20
May 15, 2014
Movement science students will create cardboard games the campus
community can play while raising money for a nonprofit organization.
The Cardboard Challenge is set for Tuesday, May 20, from
10-11:30 a.m. at the Cook Carillon Tower; rain location is Kirkhof
Center lobby.
Inspired by the short film, “Caine’s Arcade,” the Cardboard
Challenge, an initiative of the Imagination Foundation, is a worldwide
celebration of child creativity and the role communities can play in
fostering it. This year’s challenge aims to engage 1 million children
in 70 countries in creative play.
For the challenge, students build simple arcade games out of
cardboard, recycled materials and imagination.
A fun pass to play is $1. John Kilbourne, professor of movement
science, said the cardboard challenges in the fall and winter
semesters raised $350 for the Imagination Foundation.
