What to Expect
Step into a world of imagination and creativity with the Bloodsuckers LEGO® Survival Build workshop. Inspired by the Australian Museum's Bloodsuckers: Nature's Vampires exhibition, this event invites children to engage in a Minecraft-style survival challenge using LEGO® bricks. Kids will design clever shelters and environments while fending off creepy crawlies and battling the elements.
This interactive experience encourages problem-solving, storytelling, and hands-on making, guided by expert facilitators from Bricks 4 Kidz. Each participant will also receive a small LEGO® gift to take home, making the event both fun and rewarding.
Perfect for children aged 5 to 12, this workshop offers a creative outlet that combines learning with play in a supportive environment.
