Hard hats on — it's time to build bold ideas! These school holidays, Queensland Museum Cobb+Co transforms into a buzzing construction zone where ordinary boxes become extraordinary creations. Children aged 3-12 can use safe assembly tools like saws, scorers, screws, and fasteners to bring their own clever inventions to life. Whether inspired by prototypes or their own imagination, kids will enjoy a hands-on creative experience.
All materials and tools are provided during the session, with tools remaining in the workshop for safety. A sensory friendly session with reduced sound and limited tickets is also available, catering to children who prefer a calmer environment. Children under 5 will need adult assistance, and all children must be accompanied by an adult.
The workshop runs daily from April 8 to April 17, 2026, with multiple sessions each day at 10:00-11:00, 11:30-12:30, and 13:00-14:00. Each session lasts one hour, providing plenty of time for kids to explore their creativity and build unique projects. This event is perfect for school-aged children looking for a fun, educational holiday activity that encourages problem-solving and hands-on learning.
