This lesson encourages students to use their imagination, design and construct something out of cardboard and other recyclables if you choose. Students will first be inspired by reading Pete the Cat’s Groovy Imagination and Boxitects. Then they will use the Engineering Design Process to create a prototype with cardboard and Box Lox connectors.
