Launched from the overwhelming global response to the short film, “Caine’s Arcade,” the Imagination Foundation was founded to find, foster and fund creativity and entrepreneurship in children around the world to raise a new generation of innovators and problem solvers who have the tools they need to build the world they imagine.

Presented by the Imagination Foundation, the Global Cardboard Challenge is an annual event that celebrates child creativity and the role communities can play in fostering it. From 9am-1pm on October 4th, we invited students and their families to come and build anything they could dream up using cardboard, recycled materials and their imagination. Mattress Firm, located in Pabst Farms, teamed up with us to donate cardboard and box cutters. We had about 60 participants come throughout the morning and a variety of projects were created, from a balance board to a rocket ship to a life-size playhouse, and more! Watch the video to see how much fun we had! We can't wait until next year!
Awesome and very inspirational! We will be hosting a challenge next year too!
