For Matt Fisher, creativity thrives at the intersection of art and engineering. As assistant director of the Teaching Resources Center and Student Educator Learning Factory (SELF) Design Studio, he’s the mastermind behind the Cardboard Robot Parade, which will make its second annual trek down the Jackson Library Lawn on April 5 at 3:45 pm.

This walking art installation is part of UNC Greensboro’s Science Everywhere Festival. The Cardboard Robot Parade invites students, children, and other community members to design their own cardboard creations to wear. Participants can make them at home or join Fisher and his band of student robot engineers at a workshop April 5 starting at noon to design and create their own wearable robot costumes from supplies in their studio at the School of Education.
