Caine has inspired so many with his wonderful arcade, I can't wait to see what he will do next.

Please select the one indicator that is most relevant to your project or organization: Education
10,000 children in Los Angeles will start their 2013 school year by participating in the Caine's Arcade Challenge. Hosted by the Imagination Foundation and inspired by the short film, "Caine's Arcade," this Challenge will foster creativity and celebrate the imagination of children by inviting elementary and middle school-aged youth to design and build fun and engaging arcade games made from cardboard, recycled materials and imagination.
"Caine's Arcade" has been widely cited as one of the most inspirational stories of 2012. The film has received nearly 8 million views, trended worldwide on Twitter, gathered a Facebook community of 130,000+ fans, and inspired a wave of cardboard creativity in backyards and classrooms across the globe.
During the month of September, children participating in the Caine's Arcade Challenge will design and build cardboard arcades in schools all over the Southland; then on October 5th, commemorating the flashmob that came out to make Caine's day in the short film, communities will come together and play. On this day, the "Day of Play," children will operate their arcades to raise money to support various local causes, practicing the value of social entrepreneurship. And adults will learn the simple things they can do to foster a child's creativity.
Though focused on Los Angeles, the Caine's Arcade Challenge will coincide with our Global Cardboard Challenge that will take place in 70 countries and serve 1 million children. Our first Global Cardboard Challenge was in 2012 and included a unique range of participants - from a school district in Texas to an Eco-Art Park in Uganda, from Adobe Offices in San Francisco to the Warehouse Project in Sri Lanka. Kids repurposed cardboard into games, toys, robots and spaceships - whatever they could imagine. Along the way they learned about teamwork, problem solving, creativity and the value of recycling. Watch footage from last year's Challenge at: www.imagination.is/gcc_videos.
The Caine's Arcade Challenge will provide thousands of children in Los Angeles a crash course in creativity and social entrepreneurship. 500 teachers will learn effective project-based learning inspired by the Caine's Arcade story, and thousands of members of the Los Angeles community will come out to play at cardboard arcades built by kids.
During the Challenge, student participants will be part of a project-based learning environment of unprecedented scale that inspires invention and makes leaning fun. Students will engage in a simple process that develops creativity, and along the way, they will learn: Design Thinking, Math and Financial LIteracy, Engineering, Social Entrepreneurship and the value of Recycling. Where appropriate, all content standards will be aligned to the Common Core.
Student learning will occur in a uniquely connected environment as children from Los Angeles will have opportunities to showcase their work along with children participating in the Global Challenge in other countries. Some classes will Skype with other classes as far away as Costa Rica, Uganda and Bali. Many of the classes participating in the Challenge will take field trips to the actual Caine's Arcade site in Boyle Heights for hands-on inspiration and real world connection.
The Challenge is designed as follows:
- A 2-4 week project-based learning curriculum, conducted in the month of September, derived from the "Caine's Arcade" short film, and aimed at fostering creative thinking and social entrepreneurship.
- Field trips to the Caine's Arcade site in Boyle Heights to enhance the learning experience and inspire participants.
- The "Day of Play" on October 5 when children will operate their cardboard arcades and raise money for various local causes.
- Professional development for teacher participants during August.
- A Caine's Arcade community website will showcase the Challenges, locate the arcades, and capture an expansive catalogue of content uploaded by Challenge participants.
About the Imagination Foundation:
The mission of the Imagination Foundation is to find, foster and fund creativity and entrepreneurship in children around the world to raise a new generation of innovators and problem solvers who have the tools they need to build the world they imagine.
We accomplish our mission by building a worldwide movement that celebrates imagination and fosters creativity. To fuel this movement, we produce and amplify inspirational stories of creative children, orchestrate large-scale events, campaigns and challenges, and grow an ecosystem of rich content to equip teachers, parents and communities everywhere with the tools and knowledge they need to develop child creativity.
On the last day of summer, through a chance encounter, filmmaker Nirvan Mullick met Caine Monroy, a 9-year-old boy who built an elaborate cardboard arcade inside his dad's East LA auto parts shop. Nirvan was Caine's first customer. Amazed by the boy's creativity, Nirvan organized a flash mob of customers to surprise Caine and make his day. Then he made a film about it.
The Imagination Foundation is a new organization, but is rapidly becoming the leader of a worldwide movement to foster creativity, imagination and entrepreneurship in children. The film that launched the Imagination Foundation, "Caine's Arcade," has been widely cited as one of the most inspirational stories of 2012. The film has received nearly 8 million views, trended worldwide on Twitter, gathered a Facebook community of 130,000+ fans, and inspired a wave of cardboard creativity in backyards and classrooms across the globe. The Christian Science Monitor calls the film a "great American story," and Wired Magazine writes, "It's a sweet story that brings viewers back to a time of potent imagination and creativity."
Our first Global Cardboard Challenge took place in October 2012, with thousands of participants in 41 countries on six continents.
As a large-scale community event, the Caine's Arcade Challenge will engage numerous stakeholders, including schools, districts, charter management organizations, community groups, colleges and universities, businesses, nonprofit organizations, government and elected offices, and general members of the Los Angeles community.
Trash for Teaching will be able to provide recycled materials. Skype in the Classroom will help connect classes here in Los Angeles with classes in other parts of the world.
Media partners, such as YouTube, will promote and feature Challenge activities.
The success of the Caine's Arcade Challenge will be measured by multiple factors, including: those that demonstrate the level and degree of participation in the Challenge; those that demonstrate the level of school engagement and attitudes toward school; those that demonstrate mastery of key standards related to creative thinking, problem solving and social entrepreneurship; and those that demonstrate mastery of STEM-related content (such as math and engineering).
The scale of the Challenge is critical to its success, so we will track the number of participants across four major groups: children, teachers, schools and general members of the community who will attend the Day of Play at local cardboard arcades in their area.
Success will also be measured by the amount of money raised by children operating their cardboard arcades on October 5, the Day of Play.
The quality and amount of online content uploaded during the time period of the Challenge will be carefully tracked and managed to ensure an expansive web catalogue of Challenge activities. Built on top of a simple and robust open source platform, this website will register Challenge participants, provide participant content feeds for uploading and sharing relevant material, show the various cardboard arcade locations, and handle RSVP's for local Day of Play events.
Surveys to assess teacher satisfaction will be completed online.
An assessment administered by teachers through a short online question bank will measure the proficiency of student participants with regard to appropriate Common Core standards outlined in the Caine's Arcade curriculum, as well as unique standards that demonstrate an increase in creative thinking, Social Emotional Learning, and attitudes toward school.
We envision a city in which creativity is a core social value and a critical skill developed in every child; where the innate passion, curiosity and creativity of children is nurtured in schools, homes and communities everywhere; where all children are taught to be creative thinkers and doers, and encouraged to make their very best ideas happen in the world.
The Caine's Arcade Challenge will celebrate and develop the creativity and social entrepreneurship of children on a grand scale throughout the Southland. The Challenge will also showcase the role adults can play in fostering these traits. Specifically, the Challenge will engage 10,000 children, 500 teachers, 100 schools, building over 100 cardboard arcades, and raising over $25,000 for local charitable causes.
Student participants will become more creative, more entrepreneurial and more empathetic. Teacher participants will become more proficient at project-based learning and more networked to each other locally and globally. Other adult participants who attend events on the Day of Play will learn about the simple things they can do to foster creativity in children. The scale of the event will raise public awareness about the value of creativity.
Over the course of the Challenge, project-based learning and social entrepreneurship will proliferate throughout the city. A website designed for the Challenge will capture content from the various participants: photos, videos, lesson plans, activity kits, blogs and other content will showcase the ingenuity of students and their teachers, and become sources for inspiration and the mass proliferation of project-based learning beyond the scope of the Challenge itself.
In 2050, creativity will be a core social value and a critical skill fostered and developed in every school and community. Creativity will be as fundamental to the education of our children as literacy, and schools will be designed accordingly. In 2050, we will have a thriving network of "Imagination Chapters" throughout LA County, and every school and community center will have devoted space for children to discover their passions and practice building the things they imagine. Angelenos - young and old - will face the challenges of our city with optimism, invention and creativity.
Caine has inspired so many with his wonderful arcade, I can't wait to see what he will do next.
I am a high school teacher and I gave this assignment to all of my Art 1 students. The cardboard was donated by a local manufacturer of corrugated, I provided the instruction, paint glue and cutting tools. My students 40 in each of my 5 classes (200 total) participated in groups of 4 each to build their own arcade booth. They were totally engaged learning several things such as: Learning Results:
• Planning
• Experimentation
• Basic Engineering
• Color mixing
• Lettering
• Scoring paper and board
• Construction
• Teamwork
• Collaboration
• Decorating
• Follow Through
This was Common Core all the way!
My grandson, Zyg, is so excited with his continuously evolving Arcade. I hope this program can be expanded to involve a whole new wave of kids thinking creatively.
I love the Caine's Arcade story and the Imagination Foundation is awesome. I have a son named Caine and hopefully his son, Jack Danger will do great things with his imagination.
A Vote for CRD3 is a vote for Engagement!!! Help me teach the kids to pay attention!!!! Vote in one click here: http://myla2050.maker.good.is/projects/CRD3LA
thanks again for this great opportunity to see the world with child's eyes,
I'm a preschool teacher and I know that this what all the children around the world need. Use more their imagination and less the web. =) Thanks Caine and family, Thanks Nirvan. God blees you all. =)
A cheerleader for all kids' creativity worldwide.
On 26 March, I said this onTwitter: @SemiSpouts 26 Mar
How did @cainesarcade pass me by?I think I am in love. His creativity? Mindblowing;his passion?live;his belief? unending.WOW:@nirvanmullick.
So now via LA2050 I'm going to find a way to support Imagination Foundation and nurture creativity all the way from here in Lonton town.
Truly inspired.
I first heard about Caine's Arcade at Unique LA. I particpated in the 2012 Day of Play in Whittier. I love that you are reusing cardboard. We have so much of it, it is great to see if go to a creative use. Thanks and good luck. I posted it to my Facebook page and will announce it in my other groups too. Good luck!
Looking forward to joining in the Cardboard Challenge 2013 hopefully with my whole school. - Zyg
Wow, that
My boys or organised a cardboard challenge here in Chipping Norton, UK, in connections with "dads club", a group here that encourages busy working dads to enjoy the simple stuff with their kids. It was brilliantly attended, the press came, and everyone had a great time. About time we all spent more time doing the simple stuff. Go Caine!
Thanks for being such an inspiration to me. And thank-you for voting for my teacher too! - Zyg
As an artist and educator, I can find nothing more inspiring than Caine's imagination and the people - Nirvan, George, the Imagination Foundation - who support and encourage this creativity and ambition. Kudos!
Love the Caine story – brought to us by the good neighbors in LA who came to "make his day" and by Nirvan, who brought the story to the world. Kudos to Caine's parents, too, who must be great people. After financially supporting, and buying a tee shirt which my sons argue over who gets to wear in the mornings, I'm ready to vote for Imagination Foundation – but this website may have bugs everywhere. I tried clicking the "Vote" button and the blue dots are percolating, and have been for 18 minutes, but nothing seems to be happening.
Good luck, I.F. – wishing you all the best. Love getting the updates as this creativity journey unfolds.
My previous comment got cut off. I was saying Caine has inspired the world and made a part of LA a tourist destination that was not on the map. LA now can show off the creativity it hosts from Hollywood to Caine
Kids are full of imagination with the brave heart. Thanks for Nirvan and imagination foundation who supports all the kid's imagination. This also inspires us the adult to find some missing parts in ourselves, waken it and make it alive again :) Thanks Nirvan, Caine's Archade & Imagination Foundation (I really love this name ^_^)
I do my best to spread the word about Caine's Arcade and the Imagination Foundation. :) Go, Caine!
This seems a fabulous project. If I had not voted for my own project, I would have voted for this one.
This is a cool idea, and I was also inspired by Caine's arcade. But why restrict the creativity to arcade games and why limited to cardboard? Why not allow the kids re-imagine any number of things in cardboard or other found objects? Why restrict kids' imagination to force it to replicate one really creative idea?
¿Porque esta pendiente mi voto?, esta como congelado, que podría hacer?

I have seen the inspiration this film has had on kids firsthand in Saint Louis, MO. There has been a shift in my neighborhood since Caines Arcade film debuted last year. More kids are outside creating and repurposing recyclables and there has been a increase in kid businesses also. When you ask these little entrepreneurs, they all site Caine as the source of their inspiration. I can
Love what the imagination foundation is doing. I was too cynical to watch Caine's Arcade 2 for a while, but then I finally watched it and it made my cry just like the first one. Voted for a different campaign, but if I had two votes you would for sure get the second. Keep up the good work!
Sorry to hear we couldn
As a Communtiy Cinema in Northern Ireland, we were amazed at the interest that was generated by this short film. We screened 'Caines's Arcade' as part of a culture festival in Belfast in September 2012 and organised workshops to encourage children to make arcade games out of cardboard. The feed back from the film was very positive and was described as a feelgood film that was an inspiration to everyone and became a catalyst for 'back to basic' values.
This is a wonderful thing to hear. We
Lots of love, light & prayers for The Imagination Foundation. A divinely inspired organization
that is taking flight - spread your wings and fly high!! I believe in you!
Guys, I am a professor @BentleyU in Boston, MA. I teach digital business to college kids. I
i love this project! As a parent and grandparent, I have so much respect for anything that helps children use their imagination. Good luck - you have my support.
We held outdoor play dates in our neighborhood park. The arcade idea was shared with many families, parents & teachers.

I have never seen a better organisation for a better cause run by better people. As the mother of 4 children I am deeply impressed.
Sorry no pix at all, ours wasn
Caine is an inspiration and his story a joy to follow. I would love to see more children given a way to get involved. Good luck Caine and team.
I love how his imagination and passion is inspiring children from all the world to be creative too!
I hope that the creativity that Caine has put forth in his life will inspire all new generations to never stop imagining!
I love the impact that Caine

I remember watching the film - and crying my eyes out. A donation to Caine
Caine's story is great. But what really thrills me is seeing the thousands of other children who have been inspired by him.
I am working on project based learning unit designed around this documentary. It is amazing to watch the studnets and hear their discussions regarging science and mathematics. They are passionate about planning the arcade and designing their games. Every student is invested. Thanks, Caine and Nirvan!
I love how Caine is aspiring so many children word wide to use their imagination.
I am constantly asking people if they have seen the Caine
You go, Caine! We know you
still crying my eyes out every time i watch that short film of Caine
As we are more and more involved in our individual electronic lives, this creativity in reality, involving collaboration and "business" with a community of people, is brilliantly valuable and hopeful. I profoundly appreciate the significance of this little film with a very big message.
Caine went viral because it

I came across this whole mounment movement just by looking at something on the computer. Since then I have told Caine story to so many people and to my own children. What Nirvan did by just stopping pass for a car part and turn Caine into a genius he was . I tank them all for sharing Caine story because if it wasnt told how would we know about another genius we have in the world. His father George is such a good parent for letting Caine used his imagnation to show to the world and start such a movenment around the world. Your never too old or too young to have your dreams fulifuled. Thanks Caine.

What a beautiful project.
I think children in our society are pressured to grow up far too quickly and are taught to suppress creativity and focus instead on math, science, and computer skills. While there is nothing wrong with study in those areas I believe that children (and adults too!) need more creativity and imagination integrated into their daily lives. If children stop dreaming dreams then where will our society be in 20 years? I think the Imagination Foundation and Caine
We look forward to this event. Thanks for your inspiration. The girls in our after school program in Pacoima are creating a DIY Arcade that uses cardboard but integrates technology. They're using Scratch for the interface and Makey Makey boards to attach to the controllers they make. We're having an event for the community in June where we will invite the community to come out and play these DIY tech games.
I love this foundation.
I taught English overseas and realized that America does a great job with fostering creativity. But what if we could step it up! Due to internet, things are developing at an even rapid pace. What would it be like if ALL kids tapped into their maximum creativity and achieved FLOW?!
This kid was put here for a purpose...to inspire other children to get away from electronics, TV, etc and get out there and just be a kid! Who remembers building cardboard cities out of shoeboxes? Houses out of refrigerator boxes? Cars out of moving boxes? Sure we got some cuts and bruises and paint on the garage floor, but those memories are priceless! Vote for Caine!
I still clearly benefit from unique learning opportunities from elementary school. This is the best kind of harnessing of the minds and creativity of young children. Participating in something that challenges your thinking and produces a tangible result is immensely rewarding and empowering. Onward and upward!!
All children love a cardboard box, but Caine and Nirvan have created between them an inspiring initiative for children to be even more creative and inventive, using recycled materials. The ideas have gone global, but they still need backing to reach out to young people who might otherwise miss out on this exciting venture. I wish them the very best for the future.
You did it again, Nirvan! You and Caine and every child who lets their imagination take flight. Fabulous!
Oh my god this is the best thing ever!
For all the detailed theory that underlies this project, what convinces me of its value is that I used Caine
I went to a Day of Play in a front yard cardboard arcade in a town 30 miles from where I live. I dragged my husband along - and - we had a blast! As did all the customers and the kids working the games. I was a teacher for years and this is truly an innovative and inspiring global phenomenon. The best part is - all it takes is recycled stuff. There is such momentum here. It needs to continue.
We had a Cardboard Challenge at our elementary school in suburban Chicago last October, and we

Caine has inpired children all over the word with his creativity. I credit him with getting children off their electronics and to use their imagination and create their own amazing cardboard box designs.
Caine and Nirvan have inspired me to reach out in my community in Seattle and to mentor children and young adults through my entrepreneurial experience. I hope this project of the Imagination Foundation spreads throughout Las Angeles and beyond to other cities and school districts.
building up imagination, play, and creativity is a recipe for success in anyone who participates. Let the fun begin!
Caine is a perfect example of the importance of fostering and encouraging creativity! An inspiration to kids (and adults) the world go! GO CAINE!!!
Oops mine was cut off as well! To finish I think that these projects are wonderful and vital to our society and there should be more like them! Great job Caine, Nirvan, and George!

Thanks! The Global Cardboard Challenge is not limited to making arcades like Caine's, nor is it limited to using Cardboard. If you watch the Part 2 film, kids are invited to make anything awesome using imagination and recycled materials. Last year, kids made robots, rocket ships, puppet shows, cities, labyrinths, complex toys, under water themed amusement parks, and so much more. This specific program we're doing in LA does leverage "Caine's Arcade" as a spark for imagination, and uses the physical space of the arcade to extend the experience. Check out some videos and organizer kits for the Cardboard Challenge on www.imagination.is to see more.
A veces hay mucho trafico en estas paginas, por toda la gente votando a la vez y el trafico pesado abruma a los servidores web. Se paso asi ayer tambien. Pruebelo otra vez mas tarde, por favor.

I think your comment got cut off... this commenting system is a bit buggy.
Aww, thanks! Have you seen "Caine's Arcade 2"?
Thanks Anna! Totally agree; while online tools certainly help to share, scale, organize, leverage collective impact (and hopefully get online votes and support for grants like this), the real magic of the Cardboard Challenge happens on the ground, culminating in a Global Day of Play where communities come together to celebrate and foster creativity.
Tom Vander Ark! I'd really love to hear your comment, but it unfortunately got cut off by this commenting platform. Please repost if you get a chance. Thanks for the support!
Thanks so much for the support Tiffanie! If you haven't yet, please sign up to join us: www.imagination.is/volunteer - We are building a community of mentors to help foster the creativity of kids on a local level.
What a nice thing to say! Thank you for your kind comment and for your support. Don't forget to vote for our project on April 2nd!
're taking it District-wide this year! We had 45 students make 60+ games - a huge success! - and tons of friends and families who came out to play on The Day of Play. We had so many questions about when we'd be doing it again - the kids, teachers AND parents were all so thrilled to be part of something hands-on. Caine is such an inspiration, and without Nirvan and his "Caine's Arcade," the world never would have known about him. Our teachers and students would love to be part this project - through shared curriculum, Skype, etc. WE ARE CHANGED because of Caine. The school children of LA deserve the same!
Thank you! We do love all the support and participation.
Some Classes participating in the Cardboard Challenge will be skyping with other classrooms in other parts of the world, allowing kids to share and exchange ideas.
Thanks so much for the support Alison!
Thanks so much! We will be introducing more supplemental components to the challenge that organizers can add to the challenge (if they want), for instance, a Design Thinking component that can be shared with kids 1 - 2 months leading into the Cardboard Challenge. So much that can be done with cardboard and a cardboard challenge!
Thanks so much! Financial support will really help us to work with more teachers and communities and leverage the collective impact by allowing educators and community groups to share activites/ideas/curriculum, etc. Your support is much appreciated!
Thanks! The Imagination Foundation quickly became a global organization sparked from a very local effort. This LA2050 grant really is focussing on Los Angeles, but the global community will be able to vote and share comments. The support is much appreciated, and our mission is to foster creativity in kids everywhere. Our Global Cardboard Challenge hopes to have impact in 70 countries this year.
Caine's Arcade Inspiration and cardboard to engage refugee children in a camp in Switzerland. They went from "out of their minds with boredom" to bright eyed enthusiasm and busy creativity in a matter of minutes......
Awesome! Love hearing stories like this. If interested in perhaps sharing this anecdote on camera, please contact us at email@example.com (or just upload a little 1 - 3 minute YouTube clip (with no background music and clear audio), so we can edit a bunch of them together. Thanks again! :-)
Well, talk about truncated!!! And I forgot to 'copy' so I could just 'paste'. As I previously stated before being 'cut off', I no longer have children at home. However, I am looking forward to seeing if anyone locally has a Day of Play. I will certainly go and support it. Best wishes to the Imagination Foundation..and have FUN!
This is AWESOME! I'm really excited about the MakeyMakey Plus Cardboard Arcade making. Please let us know when your event is: firstname.lastname@example.com. I'll totally come and get a funpass. We are excited to see more of these hybrid analog + hitech engagement with the Cardboard Challenge, and it's super fun. We would love to share any documentation you can create from this event with other educators & organizers of our Global Cardboard Challenge, as we are introducing various thematics that include robotics and engineering mixed with the cardboard play. :-)
's Arcade Cardboard Challenge/Day of Play in 2012. It was one of our best-attended events yet and you can see from these great photos how ordinary kids found extraordinary artists and innovators inside themselves when faced with the blank canvas of cardboard and tape: http://whittiertimebank.org/Photos
I wasn't sure why we were collecting cardboard boxes in my kindergarten classroom. But now I know why!
I think your comment got cut off. This happened to me and a few others as well. Hopefully your vote won't get cut off next week. ;-) Thanks for the suppo
Thanks Deborah! The great thing about cardboard is that it is a very accessible material. We have seen a lot of kids building cardboard robots, cardboard spaceships, cardboard toys with moving pieces, etc - basically getting introduced to S.T.E.M. concepts at a young age through creative play.
Thanks! Our vision for 2050 is for creativity to be a core social value and a critical skill fostered in every child. Our Cardboard Challenge and Global Day of Play is a low cost way for us to build the movement. It's also super fun!
Thank you so much for your support! Voting for this grant will start next week. Please also consider signing up to help organize a Cardboard Challenge event to Seattle: www.imagination.is/get_involved
Yes! The idea is to have Cardboard Challenges organized for this September/October, and then the culminate a Global Day of Play on Oct 5 where the community can come out to play the cardboard games and give kids a high five - this will be the anniversary of the flashmob from the Caine's Arcade film. We will continue to do this on an annual basis, while building "imagination chapters" in communities that can continue to meet throughout the year to foster the creativity of kids on a local level.
Thanks for finishing that thought Susannah! Our goal this year is to engage 1 million kids in creative play through the Global Cardboard Challenge, including 100,000 kids here locally in Los Angeles. We will need volunteers to help organize local Cardboard Challenges as well. www.imagination.is/get_involved ;-)
Not sure why this comment got truncated. I think this comment system might have a few bugs.... What I had written was that last year, we had 14 Cardboard Challenge events organized around Los Angeles for our Global Day of Play - including events at the Skirball, at Irridescent, Game Desk, Compton, Boyle Heights, back yards, etc. This year, we're looking to scale it up in Los Angeles, home of the original Caine's Arcade, and the center point of a global movement to foster creativity in kids like Caine everywhere.
Thanks so much Lisa! There are so many creative kids like Caine. Our goal with the Imagination Foundation and our Caine's Arcade Cardboard Challenge is to foster and celebrate the creativity of kids like Caine everywhere. :-)
Thank You!! We appreciate your vote and your help sharing this with friends! Help us to engage kids in your community in creative play via our Global Cardboard Challenge as well. Sign up here to get involved: http://imagination.is/get_involved
Can't wait to see your latest creations Zyg!
Thank you! The global community that has come together around this project is an incredible force for fostering the creativity of kids everywhere, as evident by the amazing support we have seen here, and from our first Cardboard Challenge. Thank you for being a part of this movement!
Thank you for your comment! It certainly is amazing to see what kids do with repurposed products. And that's definitely the point of the Global Cardboard Challenge. The arcade challenge is specifically for Los Angeles - though arcade making is popular all over the world. The idea of making games and engaging communities with playing those games has a lot of value in many different way. And you should see the various games kids come up with. Very cool.
Wow, thank you for sharing this story Mindy! Super inspiring for all of us to hear the impact. I'll be sure to share this with Caine and his family. Please do follow up with us as we are collecting stories like this to share with others. email@example.com - and thanks for your support!
That's amazing! :)
Best field research ever. :-)
Do you have pics or video from your event? Would love to share your event & story. Please email us email@example.com
Sorry no pix at all, ours wasn't an event, just ongoing, everyday fun. Thanks to Caines Arcade cardboard has definitely became a part of fun and games repetoire. I do not work at the center any more or I'd send you pictures of our creations!
Thanks for reposting! The Day of Play is all about bringing people in the community together to celebrate the creativity of the kids, whether helping them build, buying a funpass, or just giving the kids a high five. Volunteers can organize a challenge, help another organizer with a challenge that is already being planned, or just come out on the Day of Play. Lots of ways to participate. Please stay in touch and we will work to connect you with a local event! www.imagination.is/volunteer
Thank you Cinda! We are working to develop more Skype sessions between classes that participate in the challenge so that kids around the world can share some of the things they create, and get some ideas from other kids. Perhaps we can do something between some classes in Chicago and Los Angeles, or other cites around the world. Or perhaps your school district already has sister schools that they Skype/collaborate with?
That's fantastic news. We are excited to work with you this year! Shortly, participants in the Caine's Arcade/Global Cardboard Challenge will be able to register with us online. Stay tuned for that!
I'm also going to share this with Mitch Resnick at the MIT Lifelong Kindergarten, who helped develop Scratch, and has joined our advisory board.
Sure, we'll be happy to share the documentation on this project so that others can do it with kids.
Awesome! Please email us at email@example.com

Sure, I will share the details with you as soon as we have them. Thanks for your support. It's going to be fun!
Love this, thanks! I want to start getting some video testimonials of community organizers and teachers so we can share some of these stories better. Please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com if interested, or just upload a short YouTube video about what you all did, and the impact it had, and send us a link so we can edit them together. Perhaps we can coordinate some field trips to Caine's Arcade this year as well as we gear up for the next Cardboard Challenge!
I love your program! Let's find ways to work closely together this year. Interfacing with digital devices, like Makey Makey boards is a big interest for us in the Challenge this year. We'd love to support your June event, and have you participate in our Global Challenge in September/October. Please stay in touch with us!
Definitely, we will contact you soon with all of the details and would love to collaborate. Thanks!
Awesome!! Get ready to build and play! On (or around) Oct 5th will be our 2nd annual Global Day of Play - a great day to host a parent open house and to invite other classrooms to play the kid's games! You can also have the kids choose a cause to support, and sell FunPass sales to raise funds for a good cause. :-)
I appreciate this comment, Susannah. In fact, we think the more a child's creativity is fostered, the better the child will do in Math, Science and other subjects. We envision a world in which children are raised to pursue their passions and prepared with the skills they need to build the world they imagine.

Why Kobani Matters:
The US Litmus Test
By Robin Wright
Very few Americans had heard of Kobani until a couple of days ago. But the sleepy Syrian border town, a few football fields away from Turkey, has become a microcosm of the U.S. challenge in fighting Islamic State—and underscores why Syria is likely to be a far tougher campaign than Iraq.
Whatever happens this week, Kobani has strategic value now and down the road. It is the access route into Turkey, an important NATO ally of the United States and a country that literally spans Asia and Europe. Kobani–also known as Ayn al-Arab, or Spring of the Arabs–has long been the route of trains and trucks between Turkey and Syria.
So whoever controls Kobani also controls a gateway on an important border. On Monday, Islamic State fighters penetrated enough of the city to plant their chilling black flag atop a building within a mile of the city center–and visible from Turkey.
To halt the militants' three-week-old offensive, U.S. warplanes began dropping bombs around Kobani on Monday. The strikes, which continued on Tuesday, have taken out five armed vehicles, a tank and something that's been only vaguely described as an "IS unit," according to U.S. Central Command reports.
But Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan went to the border Tuesday to warn thatU.S.-led airstrikes are not enough to stop Islamic State extremists–in Kobani or elsewhere. He is probably right–for several reasons.
First, Islamic State (also known as ISIS) has the advantage in arms and numbers against a motley collection of Kurdish fighters with limited skills and vintage equipment. The Kurdish militia, notably including female fighters, has fought nobly over the past month. But ISIS has bigger and better stuff, including American war materiel seized from the Iraqi army and brought back into Syria. The tank that U.S. strikes destroyed this week may well have been of American origin.
The United States has said it will work with local forces. But there's a profound difference–actually, a huge military imbalance–between the capabilities of sophisticated warplanes and a modest and outnumbered militia on the ground (some of whose members still wear the baggy trousers of traditional Kurds).
Second, thundering air power can be daunting, but sometimes the effect is more psychological than physical. Finding conspicuous, clear-cut targets isn't easy, especially once fighters are no longer on open roads, or manning exposed checkpoints, or commanding artillery or tanks. Look at Israel's war against Hamas in Gaza. Hamas survived, as it has in past showdowns, even though Israel has vastly more capable war planes as well as air defense systems to block Hamas rockets. Hamas could be elusive. So is ISIS.
The daily communiques from U.S. Central Command are telling. Big costly bombs fired by big costly warplanes have been knocking a fair number of "armed vehicles," which may be little more than a pick-up truck with a weapon mounted on the back. But they have not yet set back the ISIS campaign in Syria.
In Iraq, airpower has made a difference since the United States intervened on Aug. 8, though the gains have been strikingly small so far.
U.S. bombs initially changed the military dynamics in Iraq, buying at least a bit of time. American intervention helped save thousands of Yazidis who had been stranded on Mount Sinjar, surrounded by ISIS extremists. It helped prevent Islamic State from moving into Kurdistan, in northern Iraq. And it pushed ISIS militants away from the strategic Mosul Dam.
In Syria, however, the goals, targets, and impact are likely to be far harder.

Create a folder on your desktop. Then export the image to that folder. At least on my Windows 10 computer, I cannot export directly to the desktop. I have to create a folder and export to that folder.
4. Re: Unable to Export from LR to DesktopWobertC Jan 19, 2017 5:04 PM (in response to roger18169)
it is saying photo is not there but I can see it
Maybe you can see it in the Lr library- but that is only a preview thumbnail. Is there a ! on the photo border, or a ? on the folder name, which would indicate that Lr does not know where your original photo files are. (missing- moved or renamed?) The original must be available for Lr to create an exported version.
In reply to Jim- "I cannot export directly to the desktop". that is strange. I have no trouble in exporting any image to the desktop. Noting that the Desktop folder physical location is buried like- { C:\Users\Your Name\Desktop } and the export dialog must show this full pathway to the location.
