Amazing work from one of the artists that work on "Lyla in the Loop."
Isn't it great to know talented artists in our industry? My friend Omar Al-Hafidh made this sculpture for me a few weeks ago. It's an incredible 3D version from our promotional still from "Lyla In The Loop", check out more of his work here: https://lnkd.in/gFMkBpnk

So great seeing our games "Vacuum Hockey" and "Stu's Super Stunts" being used this way: "PBS Wisconsin recently developed its own learning plan from the game 'Vacuum Hockey.' The objective of the game is to launch objects into the opposing player’s net. The difficulty increases with different objects or playing surfaces. In PBS Wisconsin’s lesson plan, kids set up ramps covered with bubble wrap or aluminum foil, Algahaithi said. '[K]ids are getting the idea of friction and motion in a variety of settings, digitally and hands-on.'" Read more here: https://lnkd.in/e_agc9-Z

“Can we watch more Lyla in the Loop together once we get home?” This question was asked by a child to their parent after watching our screening of PBS KIDS’ Lyla in the Loop at Marbles Kids Museum IMAX Theater. This meaningful moment is what it’s all about! Thank you, Dave Peth, Nneka B., and Jade Avelis for supporting us in bring this free screening to life in IMAX! Grateful for the 1,500 participants and 22 community partners that joined us today for PBS North Carolina’s Rootle Roadster Tour kickoff in downtown Raleigh!
