Our Work |
| |
Children’s Discovery Museum designs activities that are fun and very
educational. Our very hands-on "immersion" galleries encourage children to be innovative,
creative and feel involved. Our workshops teach safe use of tools while providing an exciting projecting to construct - often these can be taken home. Our shows are dynamic and great for any venue.
Here are some of the activities we have developed. These are staged regularly on their own, or as part of larger events throughout Sydney and beyond.
Check out What's On for upcoming events near you.
Build
It |
Meet in the Site Office to get your official Workplace Orientation from the Site Manager. Get dressed up into a safety vest and hard hat. Take a tool belt and a set of tools. You will receive your Green Card and be ready to build!
Have a go at being a Bricklayer, or maybe a Plumber, Electrician or Roofie! Try everything, there is plenty of work to do. Remember: safety is important - keep your safety vest on at all times (hard hat is optional) and your Green Card with your name on it visible. Your supervisors (parents or care-givers) are most welcome, encouraged in fact, to assist!
Children became professional builders equipped with their
own construction clothing, hard hats and user-friendly tools. Their
task is to complete a half built house, which required walls, flooring,
electricity and water.
Our young, professional staff will guide them through
the activities and are ready to help whenever necessary. The tools,
materials and procedures are designed with child safety in mind.
For the next "Build It " go to What's On. |
