Last week we were celebrating design and technologies at our school. Students were looking for DIY experience in the world of modern video gaming and digital technologies. We used Nintendo Labo and its Toy-Con Garage feature.

For the uninitiated, the Labo is a Nintendo project that let us build our own toys out of cardboard and various other parts, including washers, rubber bands, stickers, and grommets. Each toy has its own unique mini game, whether it's fishing, controlling a robot companion, or playing a miniature piano. The surprisingly complex suite of tools comes with the main Labo software and allowed students to create their own custom inventions. If you can dream it, you can make it—as long as you’re determined enough.
