Gear up for the return of the think[box] Derby

Campus + Community | March 06, 2026 | Story by: Editorial Staff

Save the date and gear up for the return of the think[box] Derby on Friday, March 20, from 3 to 7 p.m.!

Inspired by Nerdy Derby, the think[box] Derby invites Case Western Reserve University students, families and community members to design and race one-of-a-kind cars made from just about anything. This derby will take place Friday, March 20, from 3 to 7 p.m.

From 3D prints to cardboard creations, participants are encouraged to think outside the box while following two required guidelines:

  • Cars must fit on the track; and
  • Designs must be safe for spectators and the building. 

To RSVP, register a derby car, explore pre-derby workshops or learn more about the event, visit the Sears think[box] website.
