        Caine's Arcade

          • Fifth graders worked together in teams to create their own arcade games made out of household materials. Arcade engineers utilized many recyclable materials, such as water bottles and cardboard boxes. The building process required teamwork, collaboration, and innovation among fifth grade teams, which resulted in lots of smiles from Caine's Arcade visitors! Many Caine's Arcade games included creative and interactive elements featuring students as part of the functioning of the game. Dr. Grimaldi visited Caine's Arcade and played "Jackpot," among many of the other fifth grade games. Fifth graders cheered on students from various grades as they visited Caine's Arcade with their classes.
