School Holiday Makerspace Workshops – CQUniversity Bundaberg (Robotics, Drones and Creative Tech)
If your child loves building, problem-solving, or anything that involves “how does this work?”, a makerspace workshop can be a great school holiday option. These sessions are hands-on and practical where kids get to experiment, create, and learn by doing, rather than just watching. CQUniversity Bundaberg is running a series of School Holiday Makerspace Workshops for children aged 8 to 16, with activities that blend creativity and tech in a really approachable way.
Workshops are held at the CQUniversity Bundaberg Makerspace, with sessions running across 8 April, 10 April and 17 April 2026.
Workshop details are:
- Wednesday 8 April, there’s LEGO® Robotics: Dragster Dash! (10:00am–11:30am) and Robot Mania! (12:30pm–2:00pm).
- Friday 10 April, sessions include Drones (Basics) | Level 1 (10:00am–11:30am) and LEGO® Robotics: Amusement Park (12:30pm–2:00pm).
- Friday 17 April, there’s Drones (Advanced) | Level 2 (10:00am–11:30am) and Light It Up! Creative Circuits (12:30pm–2:00pm).
Cost is $25–$30 per child per workshop, and spots are limited, so early bookings are recommended. (Note: the Drones Advanced session requires prior attendance at Drones Basics.)
Makerspace activities build real-world skills in a way that feels fun. Kids practise planning, testing, and improving their ideas whether they’re racing a LEGO dragster, coding a robot challenge, or learning safe drone flying. These sessions also support confidence, because kids get immediate feedback and can see their progress in real time. For many children, it’s a great introduction to STEM and design thinking without the pressure of exams or grades just curiosity, teamwork, and making something that works.
