Castle Hill

Intergenerational teams will be challenged to collaboratively solve puzzles and create projects of their own imagining inside the museum's very own in-game escape room.

Success depends on how effectively teams work together to explore, solve and create. Less experienced Minecrafters rely on the guidance and support of the more experienced.

This workshop uses Minecraft Education, a game-based learning platform that promotes creativity, collaboration and problem-solving in an immersive digital environment.

All Powerhouse Minecraft worlds are safe, private and accessible only to ticketed participants during the workshop.

With the encouragement and assistance of Powerhouse Educators, this 2-hour family-friendly workshop is designed to be a fun shared experience which encourages conversations between young learners and adults that establish a platform for safe and healthy computer use at home.
