#GETMAKEDO FROM STEAM CO. HERE
This is the #ARTofMAKEDO
If you saw us on BBC Breakfast ten years ago (see below) launching the Global Cardboard Challenge here in the UK for Caine from LA, you may have wondered what those little blue clips were that we held the cardboard models together with.
Well it was a brilliant system called MakeDo from Australia that we’ve struggled to buy since but it’s back, improved and we’re proud to say that we are the first MakeDo UK Ambassador and have been asked to help tell people about it and sell it here in the UK.
So if you do want a kit we hope you’ll help us out by buying it from us.
If we’ve just visited your school you can select free delivery and we’ll ship it direct to the school (term time only).

BBC BREAKFAST FAME
It was quite a moment as you can see here - especially the reason for the little window in the cardboard house that one of the girls has made!
This incidentally uses the first version of MakeDo which was more like little cable ties than the current, much better screw system.
All inspired by the wonderful Caine’s Arcade film below (we’ve since had a couple of live stream chats with Caine himself, who has grown up a bit since then)
