Join Kool Kat Science and make a candy dispenser out of cardboard and learn a little engineering along the way.
Cardboard is a favorite building material for aspiring makers, but can you imagine using it to build a machine? The cardboard candy dispenser is an engineering marvel made from recycled materials and imagination. Kids will fabricate this contraption from pre-cut cardboard faces that fit together like a puzzle. The dispenser uses inclined planes and an elastic-powered cady trap to dispense one gumball at a time.
