Let's Play: Forts!

  • July 27, 2019
  • 10:00 AM - 3:00 PM
  • Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago

Use your imagination to create forts, hideouts and community sculptures—all made of cardboard.

Join MSI 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.

For all ages.

Free – no ticket required

This outdoor event is free to the public. Tickets must be purchased to visit the Museum
