Castle Hill

Learn, create and play as a family in a Minecraft world specially constructed by Powerhouse.

Intergenerational groups will be guided through Minecraft activities and adventures before entering Creative Mode to build their own Minecraft creations.

This family-friendly short workshop encourages conversations between young learners and adults while learning together, and is designed to establish a platform for learning to continue at home.

The Minecraft world for these workshops is safe, private and only accessible at Powerhouse. It uses Minecraft Education Edition, a game-based learning platform that promotes creativity, collaboration and problem-solving in an immersive digital environment.

Computers will be provided to help participants develop their computer literacy with keyboard and mouse skills.

Recommended for ages 7+. Children must be accompanied by an adult, although one adult may accompany multiple children within a small group of family and friends. Bookings essential for all participants (children and adults).
