Year 5 SAC Arcade
Year 5 SAC Arcade
This term, in the Year 5 Design and Technologies course, students drew inspiration from the famous ‘Caine’s Arcade’ project. Caine’s Arcade was inspired by 9-year-old Caine Monroy, who creatively transformed discarded boxes into an arcade with a ticket and prize redemption system. Caine designed and operated the games himself, initially using old toys as prizes before incorporating items from dollar stores.
On Wednesday 4 September, the Year 5’s hosted the SAC Arcade for the whole of the Primary School. The Year 5 students, tapped into their creativity to design and build their own arcade games, using sustainable materials and the innovative Make: Do tools. This hands-on experience not only encouraged them to think critically about design and engineering but also emphasised the importance of environmental responsibility. The results were a fantastic showcase of imagination, problem-solving, and eco-friendly innovation!
