How to Make a Cardboard Clock

Transform your classroom into a maker lab as students build a functional, large-scale cardboard clock. Using the Makedo Roto-Ring, learners bridge the gap between abstract concepts and tactile exploration. This step-by-step guide aligns math skills with creative engineering, helping students visualise and master the mechanics of telling time.

REPLAY

Who is it for?  Perfect for students learning to tell time!

Spin to Win: Roto-Ring Gameshow Wheel

Why use a digital spinner when students can build their own? This project guides makers in constructing a heavy-duty cardboard wheel using the Makedo Roto-Ring. Once built, this "Game-Show" setup becomes a permanent classroom fixture for probability exercises in Math, vocabulary drills in ELA, or randomised student selection.

 Teachers love the cross-curricular versatility of this quick activity!

Art in Motion: Roto-Ring Kinetic Art

Using the Makedo Roto-Ring, students explore the principles of linkages and pivots to transform static cardboard into dynamic kinetic art. This project challenges learners to experiment with rotational symmetry and mechanical layering, turning abstract concepts into moving art.


 Why teachers love it?


Learners will prototype, test, and iterate on layered cardboard assemblies to discover how interlocking rotations can simulate organic or mechanical motion.
