The educational programs connect directly to the NSW curriculum and have been developed in collaboration with the Department of Education, industry leaders, researchers and cultural institutions. In response, our spaces challenge traditional concepts of educational environments, creating opportunities for interaction, curiosity and innovative modes of learning.
Our approach draws from the Powerhouse Collection, exploring materiality and making through varying methods of production. Materials are considered across different states of refinement, from raw and elemental through to highly crafted and precise, reflecting the institution’s enduring relationship with innovation, technology and design.
Recognised internationally as one of the great repositories of stories of innovation and achievement across the applied arts and sciences, Powerhouse provides a comprehensive insight into Australia’s rich and diverse cultural history. This new educational facility extends that legacy, creating immersive environments that inspire future generations of thinkers, makers and innovators.
