The Global Cardboard Challenge returns to Mark Day School

From October 5-16, Mark Day School will join the Imagination Foundation and 75,564 global participants from 38 countries in the 4th Annual Global Cardboard Challenge. The Global Cardboard Challenge is a celebration of creative play inspired by the short film Caine's Arcade. The challenge is simple: make something creative out of cardboard. Mark Day School will participate through a community project we are calling, "Cardboard World." Thanks to household cardboard donated through the "Tinkerer's Treasure Drive," students in 2nd-5th grades will have the opportunity to collectively create a "Cardboard World" in the enclosed breezeway off of the quad during lunch recess. The experience will give students the chance to make something with their hands, give new life to some cardboard before it hits the recycling bin, and work together to create a communal art installation in which no single element is owned by any one artist alone. 

This is our second year participating in the Global Cardboard Challenge. If your child is not in 2nd-5th grade and is excited by the idea, any student may make something on their own to add to Cardboard World. All contributions are welcome! Please contact Bonnie Nishihara, Assistant Head for Education Design and Innovation, with any questions.  Learn more about Global Cardboard Challenge events world wide by visiting the following link: http://cardboardchallenge.com
