The Bendigo Tech School Unboxy Design Challenge

WINNER Innovative Education Initiative

2021 Association for Learning Environments Awards

In 2022, Bendigo Tech School is again partnering with Unboxy to challenge Bendigo Schools to submit innovative projects using the Unboxy modular cardboard construction system.

If you’re in Years 4-10 we want to challenge you to utilise Unboxy Kits in wonderful ways, to compete in any or all of three Categories – Engineering, Visual Arts or Architectural Design. 

Form a team, develop your ideas and start creating. You could win big prizes for your school. 

Supported by Bendigo Tech School and Y2 Architecture, the Bendigo Schools Unboxy Challenge is open to all schools in Victoria. Every participating school will receive a free Unboxy kit.

The Challenge

Student teams (up to 5) document their response to the challenge in one of three categories:

• Engineering (tallest structure)
• Visual Arts (most beautiful piece)
• Architectural Design (Shelter, scaled for students or figurine/teddy)

Each team must produce a film, uploaded to the submission portal (link below).
