Smoky Hill High School, 16100 E Smoky Hill Rd, Aurora, Colorado, 80015

For the 6th year, the Foundation is bringing the Imagination Foundation Global Cardboard Challenge to Cherry Creek Schools. This is a chance to give our K-12 students space to innovate, experiment, explore, play, create and be inspired to foster their creative spirit. Every participant creates whatever they set their mind to with only cardboard and recycled materials. This provides many students a gateway into project-based learning and design thinking that are key to shaping the next generation of entrepreneurs and innovators in our fast-paced, connected world.

This year, we are hosting the Cardboard Challenge at Smoky Hill High School. All projects will be judged by our volunteer judges, and winners will be named in each age group! Winning group and individual prizes will earn cash prizes.

The Cardboard Challenge is a FREE event. DON'T FORGET TO REGISTER BY OCTOBER 5! Link is below.
