Kids had lots of fun doing everything from making their own instruments to playing in a sea of balls to getting their own balloon animals. Next year FunFest will become a part of Explore IUPUI, a bigger and better event designed for learning, exploration and discovery of the campus. Explore IUPUI is planned for October 12, 2002.
