Here is all you need to know to navigate throughout the day!
Stop 1: Cardboard Robot Outfitting Center - Visit the back porch to select the box that you will use for your wearable cardboard robot.
Stop 2: Cardboard Robot Modification Station - Our Cardboard Engineers will assist you in cutting arm, head and eye holes for your robot.

If you would like to cut additional holes in your robot, there are child-safe saws located in the Engineering Pods inside the building
Stop 3: Engineering Pods 1 and 2 - Choose one of our Engineering Pods in Rooms 108 or 118. You will find tons of art supplies, glue, tape, and extra cardboard to make your amazing cardboard robots.

Glorp, The All-Knowing and Henri the Automaton - In the back lobby, get inside Glorp, the All-Knowing to have your photo taken and give Henri the Automaton a spin to make him dance! These installations were created by Mutt and painted by our student artists, Phoenyx, Ellie and Gypsy.
Rampage through Cardboard Robot City - Don your wearable cardboard robot and stomp through Cardboard Robot City! Knock the buildings over like the giant robot that you are! (Please do not stomp on the buildings, just knock them over)
Behold the Knights of Cardboardia! - On the half-hour, join our jester, knights and queen for a royal cardboard joust! Which knight will you cheer for? The Knight of Fish or the Knight of Bug?
Cardboard Photo Op - Visit the Cardboard Photo Op to have your photo taken with a plethora of cardboard costumes!
The Cardboard Robot Factory will close at 3:30 PM. At 3:30 PM, make your way to the lawn of Shaw Residence Hall to line up for the parade. To find Shaw Residence Hall, exit the School of Education onto Stirling Street, and walk down the street to the left. Look for the giant Spartan Head on the lawn of Shaw Hall. The parade will begin marching at 3:50 PM.
Cardboard Robot Dance Party! At the end of the parade, boogie on down with the Cardboard Robots in Foust Park. We will have a 25 minute dance party to some great dance tunes! Hope you can join us!
