Out-of-Door Academy unboxed ingenuity on Oct. 7 with its Annual Global Cardboard Challenge. 

Students brought craft supplies and Mattress Firm donated the cardboard boxes for students to create arcade games of their own imagination. The event's theme was outer space and children let their imaginations go out of this world as they taped and trimmed their cardboard creations. 

After they were finished making their games they got a chance to do what they do best — play.
