These resources were inspired by Kspace, an interactive adventure game for children at the National Museum of Australia from 2015 to 2023.
Children designed time-travelling robots and blasted back in time to Australia’s past to complete a mission unique to a time and place, such as the Victorian goldfields of 1854 or Sydney in the 1930s when the Harbour Bridge was being built.
