SUMMARY: The creativity of Kane, who built a cardboard arcade at just 9 years old, continues to inspire children today through the Cardboard Challenge initiated by Richardson ISD. Students crafted arcade games using upcycled materials, fostering creativity and flexible thinking. Despite challenges in construction, the kids learned the value of perseverance and innovation. Kane’s original arcade, discovered by a filmmaker in 2012, raised $250,000 for his education, and he recently graduated with a business degree. Now 21, Kane enjoys seeing how his project still motivates a new generation to think outside the box and embrace creativity.

Richardson ISD gave its elementary school students the cardboard challenge as part of an advanced learning assignment.
