Help me give my students the perfect STEM materials to be able to create their cardboard inventions.

My Project

Recently, my STEM Lab students have enjoyed building their inventions with pieces of cardboard. One of my students approached me one day and asked if I had ever heard of materials that can be used to connect cardboard together. They currently use hot glue guns, tape, or whatever they are able to find. However, as we all know hot glue only sticks for so long.

These materials will allow my STEM students to connect and build sturdy inventions to present to our community.

One of our final projects will be to create a board game, carnival game, or arcade game out of cardboard. The materials that have been chosen will allow my STEM students to connect their cardboard in a way that will hold it together longer as they present. Of course we will also need bins to store the materials with, so I incorporated that into the material list as well. As always, thank you for your support of our future engineers and inventors!
