🎉 DOODLE BOT DISCOVERY PARTY
Step into a high-energy, hands-on STEAM birthday experience where kids become inventors for the day. In this fully guided celebration, each guest builds their own working Doodle Bot—a simple motor-powered robot that draws, spins, and creates unique patterns.
From wiring basic circuits to testing movement and design, kids engage in real problem-solving, creativity, and discovery. The experience blends engineering, art, and imagination—ending with a one-of-a-kind creation they take home.
This is not a typical party—it’s a structured, immersive experience designed to spark curiosity, confidence, and Wonder.
