Caine's Arcade Global Cardboard Challenge

Last year Nirvan Mullick discovered Caine's Arcade - a cardboard game arcade built by Caine Monroy during the summer holidays in his dad's auto parts shop in East LA. Nirvan was Caine's first customer and he invited heaps of people to a flash mob to play and Caine's Arcade went viral.


This year to follow up, Nirvan and the Imagination Foundation are following up with the Caine's Arcade Global Cardboard Challenge on October 6.

How monsters are made

During our travels in New Zealand we visited the How to make a Monster exhibit at the Waikato Museum.

Featuring animatronics, props and special effects from movies such as Inspector Gadget 2, George of the Jungle 2, Peter Pan and Pitch Black, the display highlighted some of John Cox's Creature Workshop's work.

Next week I will be in New Zealand catching up with relatives I haven't seen for four years (and some I have not met yet).

Here is an interesting video explaining how we are all related.

We are all connected.

My kids were playing with a Cambridge Brain Box snap together electronics kit this morning. They also have a Logiblocs Super Inventors Kit. Here is another modular electronics system for learning.
