Challenge 7 - A Day at the Arcade!

This week we get inspired by fellow maker and inventor Caine Monroy who created a cardboard arcade in his dad's auto parts shop. Caine's story is a great example of how you don't need a lot of resources to have fun and create. This week's challenge is to make your own cardboard arcade game like Caine's.

Start by watching the short documentary Caine's Arcade.

Now check out this week's episode of Engineering at Home for recaps from last week's challenge and some cardboard building tips.
