On September 27th, our Elementary School will be taking part in the Imagination Foundation’s Global Cardboard Challenge. The GCC began after a man named Nirvan entered Caine’s Arcade on 28th of September 2011, and went on to make a film about Caine, that quickly went viral.

Here is the story of that day…

The Imagination Foundation is a non-profit group with a mission to find, foster, and fund creativity and entrepreneurship in children. As a means of launching the Imagination Foundation, Nirvan arranged the Global Cardboard Challenge, to encourage creativity with cardboard, and arranged over 270 events across 41 countries, including one at Caine’s Arcade.
