October 4, 2013

Get inspired! Get creative!

Students and teachers viewed Caine’s Arcade about a 9-year-old boy who built his own arcade out of cardboard boxes.

As a school, we decided to participate in the Cardboard Challenge with 76,000+ participants in 43 different countries.

Hale Kula Elementary School – 900 students, 50 teachers, and lots of volunteers = a

wonderful day of problem-solving, creating, and sharing how we used our imagination to

transform cardboard!

Thinking, planning, creating together!

Playing!

Measuring, collaborating, giving feedback to classmates

Proudly sharing!

Piles of boxes and stacks of plywood become a maze.

Sharing with other classes

Students waited patiently to go through the maze!

A big mahalo to everyone who participated or helped out at our first Hale Kula Cardboard

Challenge! A special thank you to Mrs.

Colte and Mrs. Petry for organizing this event,

and thanks especially to Caine who is the inspiration for the challenge and to Nirvan for

telling Caine’s story!
