Cube Art

This was the first program I did for 2010! I'm finally caught up! I would love to say that I'm clever, and I came up with this all on my own, but alas, I am not. My saving grace for this semester is this blog that I stumbled across. This blog has some of the coolest, hippest, most awesome ideas for teen programming that I've come across in awhile.

One that caught my eye (and is super easy), is the link to these cube characters. Cubeecraft has a couple of hundred of designs to choose from. You just click on the one you want, save the pic (or download it - the 2 page characters are in .zip files), print them out, color (if you have a b&w printer like I do), cut and assemble. They are truly self-explanatory, so I can't really give you anymore instruction than that. They've got movie, cartoon, and video game characters. All of my teens loved this - especially my geeky gamer boys. They snatched up 5, and begged to take some home. This is a great, cheap, easy program for anyone to do!

(In case you're wondering - that's [from L to R] Jack Skellington, Rorschach, and the 1-up Mushroom from the Mario games.)
