In this workshop, combine the power of cardboard, Strawbees tinkering tools and drinking straws together with gamification challenges. Recreate classic carnival games and “hack the game” with varying levels of difficulty and challenges provided by the team. Can you make a crane game without using your hands or build an extending arm that can pick up 3 different items? Transform solid and rigid cardboard games into mobile structures with Strawbees linkages to bring gameplay to the next level. Animate creatures to slide back and forth for a ball toss, design a crane to lift, a giant cardboard hand to pick up and move objects, and so much more.
