We hear you asking, "What is this thing they call a Popbox?" Well, a Popbox is a paper pocket pal. A Popbox is a movable mechanical 'musement. In this specific case, a Popbox is a 5" x 3" x .5" box filled with turtle automata. You'll get a kit, so gathering materials will be easy. Note: This paper craft project requires careful assembly. If you are a beginner—and you are absolutely welcome if you are—bring clean fingers and a calm mind.

Advance registration is required for all JCBA workshops, and for this one, you must register by Monday April 12 at 10 AM Eastern Daylight Time. To register, email JCBA Director John Cutrone (jcutrone@fau.edu).
