How are our birthday parties unique from others?

  • We are the ONLY authorized LEGO MINDSTORMS Center in Eastern US.
  • Parties take place in our state of the art computer lab.
  • Parties are science theme-based.
  • Participants will perform simple picture-based programming on a PC through an easy-to-use and very appealing programming environment.
  • Through programming on a PC, children automate their robots as their commands.
  • Activities allow participants to strategize and take challenge.
  • Participants will "see" their own achievement in every single action, jump up and scream "Hurray! I did it!".
  • All labs have an one-sided mirror through which parents can watch all the excitement children have.
  • All are instructor-led sessions in our well-equipped computer lab.
  • All our technically trained instructors have a rapport with children and worked closely with all children throughout the party.
  • All participants will stay inside the computer lab during the entire fun time.   Parents can sit back, relax and watch the whole party through the one-sided mirror.   It is like watching your children playing in a Mind Sport.
  • Children will work in a team of 2 to 3.   Usually the last 20 minutes of each party is allocated for cake/food time.
  • Free coffee and tea for parents and guests.

Available  Themes
Mission Mars.  (for age 8 to 10)

The Mission Mars program is about a dramatic rescue situation. A Martian storm has disconnected all communication lines to the space station. The space scientists have been hurt.  This is Urgent!  They must be rescued and sent back to Mother Earth before the next storm hits Mars. 

Your mission is to reach the desired destination and save these scientists.


For more complex exploration, you need to collect some very important Martian samples that have been scattered around by the storm for future investigation.

In order to maintain a safe and fun environment for all birthday participants, we ask parents to help by following the guidelines below: 


Throughout the entire session,  except the birthday cake time, all participants should stay inside the computer workshop room where sufficient adult supervision is available at all times.
No food/drink is allowed in the computer lab.
Any participant younger than 8 years old MUST require special arrangement.
No children under 6 is allowed to enter the computer room, for both their safety and our liabilities concern.
If parents, except the birthday child's parents, desire to take part throughout the whole session, he/she will be counted as additional participant. However, parents' full time participation is not recommended as our experience has shown it indeed poses adverse effect on the excitement and individual creativity among the youngsters.  Each lab has an one-sided viewable large window which allows parents to observe at any time.
Party favor is free for the birthday child ONLY if you purchase party favors from us.  You are more than welcomed to bring your own.
All non-participants who are  under 13 years old MUST be under adult's supervision at all times when they are at the center.
The following has never happened.  However, word of caution is worth to be included.
Please note that there are expensive equipments in the computer lab, including the LEGO robots. Respects to the facilities and all equipments are required. If a child deliberately causes damage to the facilities or equipments, he/she will be removed from the party and returned to his/her parents. His/her parents will be held responsible for the repair.
