Join us at the South Australian Museum for an awesome school holiday workshop just for ages 6 to 13! To celebrate the 2026 Australian Geographic Nature Photographer of the Year exhibition we’re teaming up with Atkins Lab to bring you a super cool, one-hour session on making the most out of your smartphone camera.

You'll be shown all the tricks of the trade, from finding the best lighting to framing your shots like a pro. Then, you’ll get to try out these tips yourself while snapping pics inside our Discovery Centre. And here’s the best part: you can even talk to Atkins about having your favourite photo printed by the experts at Atkins Lab! Don’t miss out on this chance to boost your photography skills and have a blast while you’re at it!

Please note: this is a bring your own device activity. A smartphone or tablet is preferred, but other devices are welcome.
