SUMMARY:Powerplay: Archikid Workshop
DESCRIPTION:PowerPlay\, presented by Brisbane Powerhouse and BMD\, is a new initiative that celebrates young people as active creators\, placing them at the heart of the artistic experience. \nDesigned for children and their families\, PowerPlay offers a dynamic program of FREE workshops\, events and hands-on cultural activities that encourage curiosity\, play and imagination. \nIn Triangulated Hideout\, young makers take on a playful building challenge: transforming simple triangular surfaces into three-dimensional structures that can stand on their own and claim as much space as possible. \nMake it taller. Stretch it wider. Find surprising ways to keep it standing. Can you make enough space to peek through\, crawl under – or even get inside? \nWorking first in small teams and then joining forces\, children will experiment\, test\, tumble\, rebuild\, and discover their own ways of making structure through play. As individual hideouts begin to connect\, the challenge grows: how can separate structures come together to create even more space? \nWith no single right answer and no final form to copy\, every new connection changes what the construction can become. \nDeveloped by archiKID\, the workshop brings together architecture\, geometry\, play\, and hands-on collaborative making\, inviting children and families to explore space and structure through experimentation and imagination. Designed for participants aged 2–99\, everyone can join the challenge at their own level and contribute to an evolving collective playscape. \nFIND OUT MORE
