The Array, Darwin
9:00am to 5:00pm 

Join us for a free, fun, and creative public session where primary school children can share their Minecraft knowledge and learn new skills from others. Working together, participants will explore how to design and build a sustainable tropical house inside Minecraft.

Participants will:

• Share tips, tricks, and building strategies.

• Learn about what makes a house sustainable in the tropics (shade, airflow, local materials, energy efficiency).

• Collaborate on a design goal using teamwork and creativity.

This hands-on workshop combines STEM learning with play, encouraging problem-solving, design thinking, and peer-to-peer learning in a safe and inclusive environment. No prior Minecraft experience is required—enthusiasm and imagination are all you need!

Participants MUST bring their own recess and lunch. Afternoon snacks will be provided. 

Boost your teaching confidence and engage your students in fun, cross-curricular STEM learning. Register Now: https://questacon.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0VZ1KAuQEJungLI

Teams meeting 

Thursday, 4th September 2025, 3pm - 4pm

This 1-hour online professional development session will equip teachers with practical strategies to support students in tackling the Minecraft Sustainable Tropical House Design Challenge.

Teachers will:

• Explore how Minecraft can be used as a tool for design thinking and STEM learning.

• Learn ways to guide students in connecting real-world sustainability concepts (shade, airflow, materials, energy use) with their in-game builds.

• Gain practical tips for facilitating collaboration, creativity, and reflection in the classroom.

• Access resources and ideas for adapting the challenge to suit a range of year levels and abilities.

By the end of the session, teachers will feel confident leading their students through the design challenge and encouraging them to showcase their learning through Minecraft.

Biodiversity Buzz: Top End Eco Science Fair (Bio Buzz) is a daylong event that will deliver a range of community engagement, education and skill building activities to build greater awareness and knowledge about the Top End’s precious ecosystems, biodiversity and the importance of habitat preservation.

The Darwin Living Lab Symposium is an opportunity to bring together community, industry and government practitioners, to learn and exchange local knowledge on heat mitigation, urban planning and tropical design.

The CSIRO-led Darwin Living Lab (DLL) was established as part of the Darwin City Deal and is a 10-year collaborative partnership (2019-29) between the Commonwealth Government, Northern Territory Government and City of Darwin. The partnership brings together research, government, industry and the community to co-create solutions to Darwin's most pressing urban challenges that include adapting to a warming climate and creating a more liveable and sustainable city.

The focus of this years' symposium is on identifying practical heat mitigation opportunities for people living, working and visiting Darwin - empowering people to take action to stay cool in Darwin's warming wet-dry tropical climate. We will discuss topics such as:

• Busting myths about human thermal comfort

• The impacts of heat on health

• What technologies can help us stay cool and how do we use them.
