Attention Filmmakers! We’ve teamed up with our friends at Makedo and littleBits for a Global Cardboard Challenge ‘Make-a-Movie-Trailer’ Contest. Create a 1-minute (or shorter) movie trailer or short inviting the world to join the Global Cardboard Challenge. The goal: to spark imaginations and get others excited to join in the fun. Bonus points for creativity, originality and getting your point across! There will be two winners – one will receive a A Makedo Classroom Kit (versatile and reusable cardboarding tools) and the other lucky winner will receive a littleBits Premium Kit (neat-o electronic modules connected by magnets) to aid your future creative adventures!
