    I remember seeing this as a kid myself being around the same age as him and it inspired me to make my own cardboard creations! Now here i am about to start college going into engineering because this video sparked my interest in making things out of pretty much nothing. I really want to thank this guy, the same age as me, for inspiring me into tinkering and building things.

    I don’t know why I came back, I graduate high school in a month, but I watched this back in 3rd grade and saw him as a “big kid” and looked up to him. I realized this may have been the video that sparked my passion for engineering

    Can we go home early today?
    Caine: No
    Imagine if he would’ve said “ *Yes* “

    I first saw this video when I was in grade 4 (7 years ago now, 2012-2013) and this was one of our class projects and that is still one of my fondest primary memories.
    Thank you Caine

    I never heard of this (being old) until 15 minutes ago. This kid is brilliant. Nirvan, thank you for making this film. I hope Caine is doing well --- and I hope he's going to college now to become an engineer, entrepreneur, or both.

    This was the very, literally VERY FIRST CZcams I've ever watched in my life before I was even in school, and now I'm in middle school in 2018 watching this again, its really special and kind of weird =D

      Then the oldest you can be is... 8? Unless you started school at 8, I don't believe you're in middle school. Lol. (The video came out in 2012.)

    My school loved to show this when I was in 5th or 6th grade. I don’t know what inspired me to find it again, but I’m glad I did.

    This video makes me wanna cry... I miss october 16. This was a HUGE event for our school. There would be cotton candy, all the cardboard games, cupcakes, and it would last until like 10 pm. There would be so many kids there. Now im leaving and going to middle school. Im gonna miss this so much.
