Hello, we are the founders of Cardboard Superheroes, a non-profit
organization dedicated to inspiring creativity through hands-on learning. We have
partnered with the Comic-Con Museum to provide an immersive STEAM
experience for students by building mini-cardboard models of popular characters.
This course is designed to enhance students creativity as part of their on-
going education. The curriculum is built upon pop-culture characters intended to
engage students' creativity and imagination. Each cardboard model ranges in
difficulty with specific learning objectives to help students develop artistic skills,
math concepts, basic engineering/architecture techniques, design process, ability
to think out of the box, and even inspire future careers. As we are both students,
we understand first-hand that an integrated arts education is essential and can
provide life long benefits. Students will learn to stretch their minds in a hands-on
engaging activity. In this STEAM curriculum, there will be 10 mini-cardboard
models such as Captain America’s Shield, Wall-E, and more. Each model will
include free tutorial videos, PDF templates, reference images, and learning
objectives with NGSS aligned teacher and student guides.
We hope you enjoy using our STEAM lesson plan to share an unforgettable
experience.
Sincerely,
Connor and Bauer Lee
Co-founders, Cardboard Superheroes

SAFETYGUIDELINES

3.
If you are 10 years old or younger, we highly
recommend you build under the supervision of
your teacher, parent, or guardian.
Be careful with the hot glue gun – as the name
says, the tip and the glue are HOT and can
definitely burn you. Please be careful!
Scissors are sharp and cutting cardboard isn’t
easy. Take your time and ask for help if needed.
Always cut away from you.
*By using this curriculum, we are not responsible for any
injuries or damages sustained. We will provide safety
tips, so students can be injury free*
