Students Take Part in the 3rd Annual WNYRIC Cardboard Arcade

Over 200 students from eight local school districts gathered at the KeyBank Center for the 3rd Annual Cardboard Arcade Challenge. The event marks the culmination of a project in which students were challenged to design and construct games using cardboard and other found materials. The games showcase students' creativity and problem-solving skills. Students had the opportunity to play their peers’ games and compete against each other in thirteen categories judged by experts in related fields. The event was hosted by WNYRIC, and featured schools participating in the Consortium for Student Empowerment Through Innovation (CSETI).  

A number of WNYRIC employees got in on the fun by volunteering at the event to help guide kids, judge games and even play a little bit themselves!
