What is the box you are holding in your hands?

The box I was holding in my hands is the Boredom Blueprint Idea.

What are your favorite activities to do?

Horseback Riding!

What is the blueprint for?

It’s a blueprint for curing summer boredom. It’s a project I started in the beginning of the year and the idea box is just for creative suggestions.  I want ideas to be cost effective with things you can find in your house.

Could you possibly make a wintertime box?

The whole purpose of it is in the summer when you are alone and you’re bored you have creative ideas to do and ideas to get your brain working.   

What’s one of the ideas in the box?

Well, right now there’s no ideas in the box.  Please add some!  Just get a sticky note or a piece of paper and put it in! (The boxes are in Miss Bengels' and Mrs. Miller's rooms.)   One idea we had was Go to Six Flags but that isn’t cost effective.

How did you come up with the idea?

Well, actually, I was just bored in the summer and I was thinking of ideas of what I could do and I came up with a few of them and we had enough to start the project.

What were some ideas you had this summer?

So one of the ideas I had was when you’re bored, you can go outside into the woods and find a tree stump and try to find how old it is.  

What will you do with the ideas when the box is filled?

Well, Brianna and I, since we first came up with the idea, we are going to sort through the ideas and maybe revise them and then use them in the project.

Where will we be able to see the results of the project?

So, Miss Bengels and I were thinking about maybe using a blog or something with emails to get the project across to kids and let them know about it because right now it’s just two classes that know.

What are your hopes for helping the world?

I just hope to engage kids over the summer so that when they come back to school their brains aren’t dead.
