  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

  Our private tours just for kids from ages 6-12 are uniquely tailored for that age group in a variety of ways. According to their age, we are sensitive to the carefully chosen subject matter. Our aim is to concentrate on the elements of art such as color, line, composition, perspective, forms of sculpture and the historical, narrative of the artwork. This approach ensures that the child receives knowledge that can be applied at any art museum. It is an introduction to the art world that emphasizes how to look at and what to look for when viewing any work of art. By utilizing visual and tactile aids and games, we involve the child in the techniques, process and artists' motivations. At the same time, we ensure the adult chaperones (over 18) are entertained as well. After the tour, you'll be amazed by the shared discoveries you have experienced together. In addition, each child is presented with an "Art Appreciation Badge" and gift. These one-hour tours are available exclusively at The Getty Center and The Getty Villa. (less) ... Read more
