  Want a shorter and more personalized event that is not a party? Try our fun activities! Fun activities are for a one-on-one with your child, parent/child bonding, a small group of friends playdate, or larger groups like the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. Like our birthday party, kids join us to build a robot to take home (keep at home for the online sessions) with step-by-step instructions while having fun learning. More than just building robots, our staff will share our passion for robotics, engineering, and technology. There are so many varieties of robots to build - from the wicked smart crab robot as seen on Youtube being built by the world-famous Youtube star - Blippi, to the cute environmentally-friendly recycled box robot. Each robot built by the kid themselves serves as a fun reminder that they have the tech power in them! As for Scout groups looking to complete robotics or coding Merit Badges, we offer workshops from one-hour session to multiple sessions. We help you easily reach your goal with special Scout pricing. No matter a large group or one child, we look forward to showing you the wonders that come with robot building and robotics overall. (less) ... Read more
