How would you travel to distant worlds? Taking inspiration from the NASA X-HAB competition to design living environments for Mars exploration, we’ll construct new prototype vessels in this lo-tech, hands-on workshop for exploring any world! By deconstructing cardboard boxes and found papers, we’ll tie, tape, staple, fold, twist and bend materials to design a fleet of experimental modules that may one day transport us all to other worlds. Join us on this journey to save humanity (while also repurposing all those Amazon boxes you’ve been saving). Now it’s time to build the capsule if you dare...
