Kids and adults can now go in harmony at this learning cafe called iCreate Cafe Manila, they can play LEGO bricks while sipping their cup of juice or eat a nice cake or sandwich. Learning cafe are starting to boom here in Manila and we need more of it. Because its good to learn while we spend extra time to relax and watch our kids play.
Kids can now enjoy a cafe with play and learning area, and us adults can relax and watch our kids play while we do some of our mobile office and drink a nice caffeinated drink.
After my 1st visit, I learned that iCreate Cafe Manila is not just a cafe, it is also a learning center for kids and adults who wants to play LEGO or learn how to program some robotics using WeDo or Mindstorm.
There are some levels available for kids and you can enroll them from basic to advance level. I know that special learning programs are organized every summer, but here at iCreate Cafe Manila, you can visit and drop by and apply for a program for you and for your kid.
iCreate Cafe Manila is also a one stop-shop. You can buy your coffee or juice or eat their cakes and sandwiches prepared by their own chef. Or organize a meeting or meet up.
The best part here is that cafe has good 4G signal, so if you are using GLOBE, then you are lucky, because you'll be connected at fast speed. (I was there last time uploading my Youtube videos and I finished it in less than 10minutes for a 550 MB file)
The owner of iCreate Cafe Manila is Ms Mylene Abiva, she's also the CEO of FELTA Multi-Media Inc. and also the organizer for the national level of the Philippine Robotics Olympiad, she is also the pioneer in introducing LEGO Robotics for elementary and high school.
iCreate Cafe Manila is also the 1st learning center in the world for using a mainstream and licensed brick toys and INTEL laptops.
iCreate Cafe Manila is located at the 3rd floor of Venice Grand Canal.
If you saw this man made canal area, just go to the left side to find the entrance of the mall.
