Event overview

March 19, 2026

10:30 am to 12:00 pm

In this collaborative and hands-on program, cardboard is the star, and everyone is encouraged to think outside the box. 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. The idea is to build using an item that we see in our everyday life and in our households. From breakfast cereal boxes to shoe boxes, and everything in between, cardboard is everywhere. 

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.
