Build your own games—cut, fold, and play
Designed for ages 8 and up, this bundle encourages students to think like engineers and game-designers: define the game goal, set parameters, iterate on design, test playability, and refine. Through building with cardboard, they develop spatial reasoning, structural thinking, and collaborative skills. The pattern pack supports an engaging STEAM workflow without overwhelming prep: simply glue the printed sheets to cardboard, cut along the lines, assemble the components, and test out your game.
For classrooms and makerspaces, this pattern pack is a streamlined way to deliver project-based fun. No heavy hardware or complex kits required. Students explore competition, iteration, and fun play mechanics while teachers facilitate design thinking, reflection and iterations. Whether you’re running a design challenge, a makerspace club, or an engineering elective, this pack adds measurable engagement and purpose.
