iPads, MakerEd and More in Education

Back in 2012, Caine Monroy of Caine's Arcade visited the Exploratorium at the Palace of Fine Arts. In July, 14-year-old Caine returned to our new home and built cardboard arcade games with us during our Infinite Versatility of Cardboard event. For the day, we invited visitors to build cardboard games alongside Caine. The arcade was adjacent to the Tinkering Studio, spilling out onto the museum floor in the center of the day's activity. We also hosted cardboard costume making and both small scale and large scale stop motion animation in the Tinkering Studio.

When considering where to start with our new after school Makerspace Club it was onlyfitting to begin with an idea which epitomizes the ideologies of the Maker Movement…. the wonderful story of a young boy Caine who created arcade games from cardboard.
