Kids parties & school events
The party where every kid becomes a Health Explorer
Real cuffs, real stethoscopes, real manikins — and a lot of laughing. Kids take a blood pressure reading, listen to their own heartbeat, press on a CPR manikin, bandage a "patient," earn medical badges, and slip into a tiny lab coat. We bring the whole lab to your home, school, gym, or gathering space, on your date and time.

- We come to you
To be clear: this is an educational, exploration-style event. Participants receive medical badges and a certificate of participation — not a CPR certification card. If someone needs an actual credential, book the certification courses instead, and see the certification details.
Built for celebrations
Birthday parties, weekend activities, school programs, clubs, camps, youth nights, and community events.
Real tools, kid-sized pacing
Blood pressure cuffs, stethoscopes, manikins, and bandage stations — with plenty of turns for everyone.
Badges & lab coats
Every explorer earns medical badges. Add lab coats to take home, or wear during the event and return at the end.
What happens at the party
Kids rotate through hands-on stations in small groups, so nobody waits long and everybody gets a turn. Pick the stations you want — we build the run of show around your group.
Vitals lab
Kids strap on a real blood pressure cuff, pump it up, and read the number — then compare it before and after jumping jacks.
Listen to a heartbeat
Stethoscopes on chests and lungs. We show them what a resting heart sounds like versus a racing one, and why it matters.
Badge ceremony
Every explorer is called up for medical badges and a certificate of participation — a photo moment parents love.
Hands-only CPR on manikins
Push hard, push fast — to the beat of a song they know.
Choking rescue, age-appropriate
What to do when a friend or sibling can't talk or cough.
Boo-boo & bandage station
Cleaning a scrape, wrapping a wrist, and staying calm.
Calling 911 with confidence
Practice saying your address and what's happening, out loud.
Health-career exploration
Nurse, paramedic, surgeon, tech — what they do all day.
Ask-a-real-instructor Q&A
Kids ask the wild questions. We answer honestly and kindly.
