Workshop Information

How can a puppet come to life through movement and clever design? Growley and the Twitching Tail combines storytelling, puppetry and engineering as children investigate how movement can be created, controlled and communicated. Children explore the relationship between materials, joints, movement and design while using observation and creative thinking to solve practical problems. The workshop encourages children to test ideas, refine designs and consider how art and engineering can work together to create expressive movement. Blending storytelling, design and hands-on STEM, Growley and the Twitching Tail turns playful creativity into an exploration of mechanics and motion. Perfect for early learning, primary schools and OSHC groups looking for a story-led STEM experience combining engineering, creativity and problem-solving. Beyond the Beanstalk brings the specialist equipment and workshop resources to your service for approximately 75 minutes of hands-on STEM discovery.
