The Mind Museum Media Family Day and a Giveaway
Last Saturday March 22, my family was invited to a Media Family Day at The Mind Museum. That was my family’s first time to visit the place. We were very excited!!!
A day before the event, I told Ren what to expect inside the museum. We usually do this to prepare him since a change in his schedule or a new place sometimes irritates him (want to know why? click here)
Inside the museum, we were greeted by a friendly robot named Aedi. I told my son beforehand that he will be going to meet a talking robot, so when he saw the robot, he quickly shook it’s hand (even though it’s forbidden, I think) and talked to the robot by introducing his name too (cute no?)
We then went to the conference room inside the museum to fill our tummies with the delightful treats waiting for us. I only have a picture of the sweets from Sophie’s Mom ( I love their red velvet, crinkles and the mind museum cookie, the cake pop – not in the picture, was too sweet for me though).
The other foods are from: Kyle’s Lab- they are located at the 2nd floor of The Mind Museum, visit them and try the Strawberry Iced Tea with popping spheres (we love it!!!), Uncle Cheffy’s (read my review of their panizza here) and Sebastian’s Artisan Ice Cream (my son liked their ice cream so much, he had 3 scoops).
Managing Director Mr. Manuel Blas II and Ms. Maria Isabel Garcia told us how the museum started, how it is now compared 2 years ago and what are their plans in the next years to come.
By the way this is Ren’s OOTD that day.

The Mind Museum Summer Programs
C.S.I. 101 – is a comprehensive module on the learning adventures of basic forensic science. It consists of excellent workshops, for age groups 10-13 and 14-17 years old. The participants will be divided into teams that will gather and analyze evidence from crime scenes, as well as present their cases to a panel of Investigators. “Staged” crime scenes make this supremely exciting! Winning teams and participants that perform extraordinarily well will be awarded badges at the end of the program. There is also a Forensic Art workshop for the 18-25 age group which will introduce the participants to methods like composite sketching and forensic photography that are used to aid with solving cases.
Program Schedule & Rates:
9:00 AM – 5:00 PM per day
10-13 years old | April 8 | Php1,500/head

MARINE SCIENCE CAMPS – is an outdoor adventure for families to create a deeper appreciation of the marine environment through science. Participants get to know more about marine biodiversity & ecosystems, with an add-on astronomy/stargazing session at night! Together with our partner, the California Academy of Sciences who will be sharing their expedition stories as well as share marine observation tools, we will engage our participants as they learn responsible snorkelling and the basics on coral reef surveying. Take a dip and literally look into the ocean’s coral reefs!

JUNIOR MIND MOVER PROGRAM – Now on its 3rd year, and hailed by many parents whose kids have enrolled in it as “transformative”, the month-long Junior Mind Mover (JMM) program consists of a series of exercises and workshops that are designed to expose kids to the work of scientists in museums. The JMMs will learn deeply about the Museum exhibits, as well as creative science communication through experiment demonstrations and activities on the different fields of science.

SOCCER SCIENCE – is both a full soccer game and a science workshop! A worldwide favourite, this sport will be understood through the lens of science. This program aims to help people see the many physics principles at play in a game and how knowledge of physics and science in general can help improve their performance. People who have no knowledge in football but are interested in science will also enjoy dissecting the forces that causes curve balls, the trajectories of long shots, and the anatomy of a skilled player. What is more is that they will work with a “secret” kind of ball with powers that we bet you have never known before! Understanding soccer can help you play better!
