Good morning, Iowa City.

A pop-up art exhibit celebrating light, color and imagination will showcase interactive displays on Thursday, April 2 from 5-7 p.m. in Iowa City for residents to enjoy.

Today, the Children of the Corn robotics team qualified for the FIRST Robotics Competition Championship in Houston but faces a funding gap as rising costs and a smaller facility mean they need to raise $50,000 to send all 25 students.

The team plans new fundraising efforts soon.
