Are you a black belt in origami? Show off your skills by crafting a creative mask, robot arm or other crazy cardboard creation!
Cardboard is one of the most versatile materials I’ve ever worked with and continues to be my material of choice to teach kids innovation and engineering.
Learning how to manipulate cardboard is the key to model making, whether that’s building strong bridges, or making sweeping curves for Optimus’ helmet.
I built the mask below after my Bumblebee costume got trashed on its way back from the Dyson Christmas party.
