Here’s an inside look into the different birthday party options we offer at MakerKids.

Coding Parties: Bring Your Child’s Video Game Dreams to Life

If your child has ever been fascinated by video games, a Coding Party could be just what you’re looking for. These parties introduce kids to coding in a way that’s not intimidating—no prior coding experience is needed. Kids will use fun, accessible platforms like Scratch (for grades 1-5). 

Arcade Games: Using Scratch, your child and their friends will program and customize their own arcade-style video games. Think back to the simple joy of classic arcade games—now imagine the excitement when kids realize they can create their own!

We’ve seen this firsthand at MakerKids – at first, everyone thought they’d just be playing video games, but the programming element had every kid rolling up their sleeves and making something all their own!

Minecraft Parties: Build, Create, and Explore

Minecraft is a game kids today can’t seem to get enough of. But what many parents may not know is that Minecraft is also an excellent educational tool! At our Minecraft Parties, kids work collaboratively in the game’s block-based world to create unique structures and solve engineering challenges. 

Zoo Keepers: Does your child love animals? At this party, they’ll design and build their very own zoo, complete with different habitats and creatures.

Amusement Park: If your child prefers roller coasters to animals, they can build their own amusement park using redstone circuitry and the World Edit plugin! It’s like building LEGO structures but on steroids, and within a creative virtual world.

Imagine how cool it would be to see your child proudly showing off a virtual zoo or theme park that didn’t exist just a couple of hours before! This is a party kids—and parents—won’t forget.

Robotics Parties: Build the Future!

Is your child obsessed with robots? At MakerKids’ Robotics Parties, children get the chance to not only interact with robots but also design, build, and code their very own electronic inventions. With user-friendly tools like the Microbit and Arduino, this party is sure to make your child feel like a real engineer.

Robotic Pets: Kids use Microbit microcontrollers to create interactive robotic pets. If your child ever wished their stuffed animals could move, this is the opportunity to make that a reality.

Virtual Light Show: For a different kind of experience, kids can wire up circuits and program robots to create a customized light show using Arduino. Talk about lighting up the party!

Seeing a room of children captivated by coding a virtual light show or building a functioning robot is magical. It’s like watching the next generation of innovators in action!
