Event overview

March 19, 2026

10:30 am to 12:00 pm

In this collaborative hands-on program, participants are encouraged to think outside the box to design and build a city made primarily out of cardboard. Working together as a group, we can decide the scale of the city (miniature or large) and brainstorm the various types of infrastructure found in urban cities.

Let's see how creative we can get using a simple material that we see in our everyday life. What one person sees as a cereal box, another person might see as a large tower.

This drop-in program is intended for children aged 5-8 and their caregiver. Space is limited, so please try to arrive on time to guarantee a seat.
