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 assemble, connect, and create clever inventions. From secret spy gadgets to wearable designs, participants can take inspiration from prototypes or bring their own ideas to life.
All materials and tools are provided during the session, with tools remaining in the workshop for safety. A sensory friendly session is available with limited tickets and reduced sound for a calmer experience, ensuring all children can enjoy the fun.
Children under 5 will require assistance from an adult, and all children must be accompanied by an adult to ensure a safe and supportive environment.
This workshop runs daily from Friday 10 April to Friday 17 April 2026, with three sessions each day: 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM, 11:30 AM - 12:30 PM, and 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM. Each session offers a unique opportunity for kids to engage in hands-on creative construction activities.
The workshop is designed to encourage creativity, problem-solving, and fine motor skills through playful building. It is perfect for school-aged children looking for an engaging and educational holiday activity.
Participants will learn how to safely use assembly tools and explore the joy of making their own inventions, fostering confidence and imagination.
