Flip Out With Project Based Learning!
At Cardboard Teck Instantute we believe STEM oriented project based learning plays a crucial role in the development of students.

The PinBox 3000 gives students the opportunity to expand their classroom experience through hands on activities using simple craft tools, art supplies, and recycled elements.

Students, Fully Engaged!
The PinBox 3000 engages all types of students: gamers, makers, crafters, artists, engineers, and creative thinkers. Teachers can easily integrate thematic subject matter from their courses into fun and educational activities that promote teamwork, problem solving, and design implementation. Students will engage in math, science, and art as they prototype elements of their PinBox 3000 using craft materials, recycled materials, or 3D printed objects.
Each PinBox 3000 includes removable playboards, each with a self-contained flipper and launcher system. This cartridge system allows the platform to extend its life in the classroom by allowing multiple iterations using the previous year's chassis, with only the playboard to purchase for the next class.
Assembly time is one hour. No tools are required for assembly. The suggested timeline for a workshop using the PinBox 3000 curriculum guide is five sessions of 60-90 minutes each or one full day.
