Life and Science in Durham plans Global Cardboard Challenge

The Museum of Life and Science in Durham will be the region's only host site for the Global Cardboard Challenge.

The week-long event, which runs Oct. 1 to Oct. 5, involves guests using cardboard, Makedo connectors and other building supplies to build their own custom additions to a community built "Colossal Cardboard Imagination Machine." It all ends on Saturday, Oct. 5, with a reveal of the final room-size creation for the public to see and add on to. 

This sounds like the ultimate homemade fort. For details, check the museum's website.

Also, don't forget: The museum's popular Pumpkin Patch Express starts up Oct. 4. Tickets are still available for some slots.
