6 Cognitive Benefits of VR For Kids

Research indicates that kids who play VR games that focus on training the brain have better fine motor skills and balance. In fact, they tend to have better mobility overall.
VR gaming improves spatial attention in children and gives them the ability to quickly locate a target in a field of distractors, which has proven to be a good predictor of driving ability.
Playing VR games, which often resemble actual real-world experiences, helps children translate the skills they learned in these educational VR environments to the real world.
According to recent research, children that play shooting games have increased vision capabilities. Scientists have found that the fast-paced games increase adrenaline and dopamine in the brain which helps maintain and improve brain health.
VR gaming increases mental flexibility and improves a child’s ability to quickly switch seamlessly between tasks with conflicting demands.
VR games are a great way to reduce stress and depression in children. Immersing in a VR game can result in short and long-term mood boost that helps them relax and unwind, decreasing the levels of stress a person may be experiencing.

UCLA Meteorite Collection
2025-04-21 13:00 - 16:00 | UCLA Meteorite Gallery, Geology Building, Room 3697, 595 Charles Young Drive East, Westwood Village, CA, 90024, United States
FREE WEEKDAYS- UCLA Westwood Village
The UCLA Collection of Meteorites is the largest on the West Coast and contains over 2500 samples from about 1500 different meteorites. It is the fifth largest collection of meteorites in the United States and the second largest housed at a university.

Our collection includes the main masses of about 40 meteorites and the type specimens of more than 300 meteorites collected from hot deserts; 60 of these are iron meteorites. Eighty of these meteorite type specimens are from the state of California. These were collected by local citizens during the past few decades, mainly from the playas (dry lakes) scattered around the Mojave Desert.

Some of our meteorites are large and well suited for exhibits (in fact, some of them are exhibited at the Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History). However, most of the samples are small and mainly of value for research.

The study of meteorites and the processes that formed them is called cosmochemistry. The cosmochemists at UCLA are among the most productive university researchers in the world. It is thus appropriate that we have one of the best university meteorite collections.

We are in the second year of operating a Meteorite Gallery, located in room 3697 of the Geology Building. Opened in January 2014, the Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 9 am to 4 pm. CLOSED WEEKENDS. Admission is always free. The current exhibits will gradually expand as funds and additional samples are obtained. For highlights of the Meteorite Gallery please click here.

We are eager to add meteorites to the UCLA collection. If you have a meteorite collection and are interested in considering a donation, we would like to hear from you. You can contact us here.

LOCATION
The Meteorite Gallery is located in room 3697 of the Geology Building on the UCLA campus.

LEGO BUILDERS AT THE INGLEWOOD PUBLIC LIBRARY
2025-04-21 16:00 - 17:00 | Inglewood Public Library, 101 W. Manchester Blvd., Inglewood, CA, 90301, United States
EVERY MONDAY – INGLEWOOD PUBLIC LIBRARY
Design. Construct. Create. The best way to foster your child’s creativity is by providing them with the tools to build their own world and let their imagination soar. Join us at Inglewood Public Library – Children’s Services, every Monday from 4 pm – 5 pm. The Lego Bricks is specially designed for children to build, learn and create exciting play experiences. This will help develop your child’s imagination and love of building!

THE LEGO BRAND VALUES
Imagination
Free play is how children develop their imagination – the foundation for creativity. Curiosity asks WHY and imagines possible explanations. Playfulness asks WHAT IF and imagines how the ordinary becomes extraordinary fantasy or fiction. Dreaming is the first step toward doing it.

Creativity
Creativity is the ability to come up with ideas that are new, surprising, and valuable – and it’s an essential 21st-century skill. Systematic creativity is a particular form of creativity that combines logic and reasoning with playfulness and imagination.

Fun
Fun is being active together, the thrill of an adventure, the joyful enthusiasm of children, and the delight in surprising both yourself and others in what you can do or create. Fun is the happiness we experience when we are fully engaged in something that requires mastery when our abilities are in balance with the challenge at hand and we are making progress towards a goal.

Learning
Learning is about being curious, experimenting, and collaborating – expanding our thinking and doing, helping us develop new insights and new skills. We learn through play by putting things together, taking them apart, and putting them together in different ways. Building, un-building, rebuilding, thereby creating new things and developing new ways of thinking about ourselves, and the world.

Caring
Caring is about our desire to make a positive difference in the lives of children, our colleagues, our partners, and the world we live in. Doing that little extra, not because we have to – but because it feels right and because we care.

Quality
For us, quality means the challenge of continuous improvement to provide the best play material, the best for children and their development, and the best to our community and partners. From a reputation for manufacturing excellence to becoming trusted by all – we believe in quality that speaks for itself and earns us the recommendation of all.

5140 Lankershim Blvd, North Hollywood, CA 91601
We’ve traveled the world in search of the best beers and were inspired by the vast variety of craft beers and breweries that make them. Brews Brothers are our take on serving an ever-changing selection of the best beers in LA’s growing craft beer market.

North Hollywood:
Our dynamic forty-two taps include combinations of American strong ales, Belgian strong ales, Barrel Aged beers, IPAs, light beers, wheat beers, unique one-offs, and various other styles.

We also have house-made Kombucha, three beers on nitro, and a couple of seasonal ciders. We interchange our taps often, replacing existing beers with ones of similar styles, so there is always something new to try!

Our food menu consists of artisan sandwiches, fresh salads, and several small bite options. All food is made with high-quality ingredients – no hormones, no chemicals, and no preservatives.
WHO ARE THE BREWS BROTHERS?

​Billie and Joey have been involved with the LA Craft Beer scene for over a decade – watching it grow from nearly nothing to the massive and ever-expanding market it is today.
Over the years the brothers have watched and helped numerous beer bars and restaurant owners successfully open and operate their establishments.
Billie and Joey have brewed over 240 batches of beer along with a few collaborations with some of the more established breweries in California. They intend to continue to collaborate with more breweries in the future.
During their many visits to Belgium, along with numerous trips around the country, they previewed many beer shops and were impressed with the large variety of beer selections offered. They knew they had the experience and passion for creating something similar at home.
Billie and Joey now bring this love, knowledge, and expertise to bring you “BREWS BROTHERS”
