Follow and and learn how to make a simple circuit using a DC motor, some AA batteries and a switch. Visitors will have the chance to build their very own train. Design the body of the train, then attach axels, and finally a motor. How fast can you go? Are there improvements you can make?
A tunnel is simply a hollow tube cut through soil or rock, but there is nothing simple about the construction of a man-made tunnel. In this challenge, junior engineers will receive a design brief, then need to build a tunnel out of recycled material. Saturday 26 February, 11:00am – 1:00pm Saturday 12 March, 11:00am –

The Cross River Rail archaeology digs are recognized as the largest excavation in Brisbane’s recent history with finds contributing significantly to defining Brisbane’s historical narrative, and wider understanding of international trade and settlement. 2022 marks the 20th annual celebration of National Archaeology Week and to celebrate Cross River Rail is again partnering with Queensland Museum,
Cross River Rail’s Specialist Teacher Development Session – Archaeology is a professional development opportunity for teachers aligned with junior (Year 7-9) HASS ACARA descriptors. This one-hour session is designed to assist Australian History teachers with the transition to the Year 7 Deep Time Australia unit, which draws heavily on archaeology. This session will be presented
Do you want to know more about the finds from the Cross River Rail project? Join us as we explore these finds in greater detail and provide casts of real artefacts that visitors can hold and interact with, as they hear the stories of these items from the past. We also welcome special guest, Queensland
Palaeontology is the study of ancient life, whether it’s prehistoric plants, dinosaurs, fungi, or any other animal from the ancient past! To celebration National Archaeology Week we have invited Queensland Museum’s Head of Geosciences and Principal Curator in Paleobotany, Dr Andrew Rozefelds to present on studying the origins, evolution and history of the modern Australian
Archaeology is the study of human history and prehistory through the excavation of sites and the analysis of artefacts and other physical remains. To celebration National Archaeology Week, we have invited The University of Queensland’s School of Social Science Senior Research Fellow, Dr Kelsey Lowe to present an Introduction to Archaeology aimed at our up-and-coming

Have you ever thought about why we have toys or the materials they were made from in the past? How have toys changed over time? This workshop allows you to follow the toy making process from start to finish, looking at toys that were popular for Queensland children during the early 1900s and at the
Brisbane is a city connected by bridges, crossing the rivers and creeks that flow through our suburbs. One of the newest bridges is the Boggo Road pedestrian bridge that is being built as part of the Cross River Rail project. In this challenge, you can be a junior engineer and build a bridge with popsicle
