Paseo Academy of Fine and Performing Arts in Kansas City has opened a new Verizon Innovative Learning Lab, giving seventh- and eighth-grade students access to virtual reality headsets, 3D printers, artificial intelligence tools, coding equipment, programmable rovers and circuit-building technology.

The school is one of just 200 nationwide selected for the Verizon-backed program and one of three Kansas City Public Schools receiving a new lab this year.

The space is part of Paseo’s Project Lead the Way program, designed to strengthen problem-solving, critical thinking and technology skills while giving students hands-on experience that can prepare them for college, careers and other paths after high school.

Toys “R” Us is returning to Kansas City with a new location at Zona Rosa, bringing its selection of toys, games and gifts to the Northland.

The store is planned for September 14 at 7240 NW 86th Place, next to Bath & Body Works.

The opening is expected to bring a dose of nostalgia for longtime fans, with the possibility of Geoffrey the Giraffe making an appearance.
