Looking for school holiday activities in Parramatta this January? From 14 to 25 January 2027, kids aged 9–15 can try 3D printing, make their own art, build online safety skills and design for a more sustainable city at the Western Sydney Startup Hub.
Powered by Spacecubed, the Western Sydney Startup Hub is a place for founders and small businesses to work, connect and turn ideas into scalable businesses.
These school holidays, our members and local partners are bringing that same hands-on approach to the next generation. Kids can learn from people who use these skills in their work, try new tools and see what they can make with an idea of their own.
What's on at the Western Sydney Startup Hub

P in Powerhouse: Young Designers Creating Sustainable Cities
Wednesday 20 January, 3 hours including a light break [start time TBC] | Ages 10–15
Powerhouse Parramatta is no ordinary museum, so what makes this building different? Led by WSSH member Caroline Lam, this workshop explores the key designs and features of the new Powerhouse, just down the road from the Hub.
Perfect for curious young community builders and budding environmental and urban designers, participants will design their own rooftop inspired by Powerhouse Parramatta. All materials are provided, so just bring your curiosity and imagination!
🎟️ $15 per child. Limited to 10 places.
Coming soon
We're putting the finishing touches on two more workshops: Stadium of the Future with Caroline Lam, and Be Curious: Data & AI with Innoventors. Keep an eye on our Humanitix page for dates.
