Robotics for Kids in Oklahoma City & Edmond Looking for new activities in the Oklahoma City area to inspire your child outside of school? Three words: Robotics for Kids! Robotics for Kids uses fun, hands-on projects to get your child’s creative juices flowing. Your child will learn how to build and program robots with LEGO® bricks and software — all while making friends, developing new skills and having a great time with STEM. For many kids, robotics class is a highlight of their week. We have several kids’ robotics programs available to fully engage and challenge your aspiring engineer, computer programmer or scientist. Your child is welcome at our center in Oklahoma City & Edmond. He or she can jump into Robotics 101 or Robotics 201 without any prior experience. How we teach kids robotics each week In each Robotics for Kids class at Sylvan of Oklahoma City & Edmond, your child and a buddy work together to plan and build a new robot using LEGO® bricks, letting their creativity and imaginations loose.
Along the way, they learn science and engineering concepts, such as how pulleys, levers and motors work. As the kids’ robots take shape, they experiment with LEGO® Education’s award-winning WeDo™ software. They discover how to apply computer programming concepts and find new ways to get their “bot” moving. Then, the energy levels (and smiles) really reach a high point, as the kids challenge other teams to friendly games or take part in imaginative play. At the end of each robotics class, your child enjoys a wrap-up activity to reinforce the STEM skills he or she learned in class. (You’ll hear all about it on the way home.) A few reasons your child (and you!) will love Robotics for Kids:While your child is having a blast creating robotics, you’ll know he or she is learning practical STEM skills. (Just imagine how these new-found skills could inspire your child in the future!)In each Robotics for Kids class, your child participates in creative and challenging activities that encourage a love of science, technology and engineering at an early age.
Our interactive exercises engage kids’ hands, as well as their minds — great for children who learn in different ways.

Our time slot was 10:45 on a Saturday morning. The pre-printed tickets were a great advantage as we moved quickly past those waiting to purchase tickets on-sight. Although we were slated for a 10:45 admission, we were granted access at 10:30. We have a 4 year old boy and 2 year old girl. We have a 2 year old and a 7 month old and were hesitant to take them due to their age, however we were pleasantly surprised. Both the boys loved it and there was something to do for each of them! A little crowded but that is to be expected. The rides available our 2 year old was able to... I took my family to LEGOLAND in Orlando, Florida last year and the Discovery Center this year.
I am really not impressed with the Lego theme type. It could learn a lot from Universal, Six Flags and especially Disney. The Discovery Center gives you a very narrow window of 15 minutes to be let in and you simply file through... We learned the hard way to get tickets online ahead of time. Once in we had a lot of fun, but felt like we had done it all after about 2 1/2 hours. Fun for our six year old, but not sure that older kids would enjoy it as much. The two rides inside were fun for all of us. “Good for Younger Kids, Long Waits if You Don't Book Online” Ok let me start with prices.. They are so high on everything. It cost $82.00 for me to take my 6 year old, and 9 year old. Once you're inside you pay for everything. They take pictures they know you will want and they are $35, A picture.. Ok then there is the staff who is rude. We recently visited LEGOLAND with our 4 children (ages 9,9,6 and 4). We visited on a Thursday afternoon and it was wonderful because there was hardly anyone else there.
This is what made our experience so great. I purchased our 6 tickets ahead of time on-line. I found a coupon code for buy one get one free which was the... There was plenty of activities to keep the kids occupied and having fun. The price seemed a little steep and they were not very quick for service in the photo booth area. What a great place to take kids; what a great place to celebrate the kids birthdays! Very accommodating for the entire family with kids of every age! Another great family outing in Kansas City! We had fun with the family at Legoland in Kansas City. The kids enjoyed building different types of lego items. Even the adults enjoyed building items too! My daughter and I took her son (my Grandson) here and I have to say it was the right call. This kid had a wonderful time and I thought we would never get him to go home. This is definitely a place you want to take your children.'Lego Batman' stays No. 1, conquers 'The Great Wall' wnRenderDate('Sunday, February 19, 2017 1:56 PM EST', '', false);

In North America, it was a dud. The most expensive film ever made in China and with a budget of $150 million, "The Great Wall" was intended to prove that the world's no. 2 movie marketplace could produce Hollywood-sized blockbusters of its own.
Though it ran up $171 million in ticket sales in China, "The Great Wall" pulled in $18.1 million in its North American debut over Presidents Day weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday. That was good enough for third place, falling behind last weekend's top two films, "The Lego Batman" and "Fifty Shades Darker." The Warner Bros. animated release easily led the box office again with $34.2 million in its second week, sliding only 35 percent. Universal's "Fifty Shades Darker" sold $21 million in tickets in its second week. The erotic sequel continues to play well overseas, where it led international business with $43.7 million over the weekend. Slammed by critics, "The Great Wall" didn't measure up to its initial ambitions. It was produced by Legendary Entertainment, which has since been acquired by Chinese conglomerate Wanda Group. The film, directed by Zhang Yimou, originated with an idea by Legendary chief executive Thomas Tull, who exited the company last month. But "The Great Wall" isn't a bomb.
It has made $244.6 million overseas and performed over the weekend in North America slightly better than some pundits expected. "This is absolutely a strategy that's worldwide," said Nick Carpou, distribution chief for Universal. "Worldwide, we are one of many markets." Universal could still claim four of the top 10 films, the other two being "A Dog's Purpose" ($5.6 million in its fourth week) and "Split" ($7 million in its fifth week), so far the top film of 2017. More East-West productions like "The Great Wall" are sure to follow. Studios already regularly partner with Chinese film companies on everything from "Transformers: Age of Extinction" to "Warcraft," a flop in the U.S. and Canada with $47.4 million, but a $220.8 million hit in China. Films like "The Great Wall" and "Warcraft," however, prove that finding the right balance between American and Chinese tastes remains a difficult balancing act. For Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for comScore, the more significant factor for "The Great Wall" wasn't its multi-national origins but its Rotten Tomatoes rating: a dismal 36 percent "fresh."
"Just like every movie irrespective of country of origin, reviews matter," said Dergarabedian. "Audiences only care about the movie. They don't necessary care where it came from." Two other new releases, both from 20th Century Fox, also failed to catch on. The comedy "Fist Fight," starring Ice Cube and Charlie Day as feuding high-school teachers, opened with $12 million. And Gore Verbinski's gothic horror "A Cure for Wellness" - his follow-up to the box-office bomb "The Lone Ranger" - made just $4.2 million, a result that won't help the director's standing in the industry. On Friday, Fox apologized for using fake news stories to promote the film. Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to comScore. Where available, the latest international numbers also are included. Final four-day domestic figures will be released Tuesday. 1. "The Batman Lego Movie," $34.2 million ($21.5 million international). 2. "Fifty Shades Darker," $21 million ($43.7 million international).
