We'll show you how to use orrugated cardboard to make all kinds of play things. Cardboard is a light, sturdy, recyclable and inexpensive construction medium. It can be used for quick prototyping of 3D objects, as well as for more fun projects, such as building robot costumes or action figure playsets. Best of all, this material is brought to your door with each purchase of new gadgets, furniture, and appliances.

You'll learn several techniques for building three-dimensional objects out of cardboard, including:
* creating sturdy infrastructure

* painting and "finishing" your piece
* safely attaching simple electronic components, such as EL Wire, LED's, and sound output
