Birthdays: A Robotics-Filled Bash + A Scientific Celebration

Note To Readers: Our “Birthday Parties Of The Week” feature highlights birthday party venues and ideas that we love, or hear good things about. For more details and availabilities, check with the specific venues.

RoboFun: RoboFun offers dynamic workshops for children using cutting edge technologies. Children ages 3-12 come to their studio in Manhattan to build and program robots, design and construct video games and make stop motion animations. Your child will learn engineering, coding and creative thinking. RoboFun’s work is based upon children’s innate passion and curiosity and their workshops allow children to become makers and designers.

Celebrate your child’s special day making, coding, or animating. At a RoboFun Birthday Party, your junior engineer will build LEGO robotics (grades K-6), code their own video game (grades 3-6), or direct stop motion animation films (grades 3-6). robofun.org

SciTech Kids: SciTech Kids challenges how children have traditionally been taught science. Their science experts help kids experience science as an engaging process of inquiry and discovery. Children are placed in the role of primary investigator and are immersed in hands-on activities that draw upon their sense of curiosity and adventure.

SciTech Kids’ science parties include experiments and demonstrations that are interactive, exciting, and most of all fun for kids 4-11. Kids become budding scientists as they conduct cool experiments and enjoy special effects that thrill and inform young minds! Themes include beauty and spa science, sports and velocity, cool chemistry, and more. sci-techkids.com
