Let’s Play Forts
July 27, 2019, 10:00 am - 3:00 pm
FreeUse your imagination to create forts, hideouts and community sculptures—all made of cardboard.
Join us for a day of design and creativity outdoors. We’re making cardboard creations with engineering and maker-inspired activities.
Community Fort-Building – Create an organic structure made of newspaper and tape. You’ll work collectively with other guests to make an original piece that evolves with each artistic addition.
Build Your Own Fort – Start with a giant cardboard box and everyday materials to construct play spaces—make a secret hideaway, a giant skyscraper or even a cozy picnic spot.
Mini Metropolis – Use your imagination with the help of other guests to design a growing cityscape. Build a city section then add it to a miniature urban planning project.
