Event Information

Make and create at six  central city locations in this free discovery trail!

These school holidays, we're proud to be part of the Ōtautahi Autumn Trail - and the theme is MAKE!
Follow the discovery trail to the Botanic Gardens, Art Gallery, Tūranga, Teece Museum, The Arts Centre and Canterbury Museum.

Be an Imaginer, Make an Invention with us at Tūranga, Hapori (Level 1) 

Step into the shoes of of inventors who dared to imagine what could be possible and then worked to make it real.

You'll get hands-on with cardboard prototyping, just like real inventors do when bringing their ideas to life. Use simple materials to design, build, and test your very own creation - whether it's a moving machine, a quirky character, or something entirely new from your imagination.

No experience needed - just bring your creativity and a sense of fun!

Grab your free trail booklet from any of the locations listed above. This is a big trail, and you may need more than one day to fit everything in.
