Nintendo is no stranger to thinking outside the box. That's how projects such as Mario Paint, Game Boy Camera and the Wii Fit are created. The Japanese company takes risks, and they're sometimes rewarded. 

For its latest project, Nintendo didn't think outside the box. They thought about the box, and with Nintendo Labo, the company is harnessing the power of the do-it-yourself movement. The process is giving players both young and old an opportunity to express their creativity by building nifty contraptions out of cardboard.
