School is out for the summer at Vacaville’s Padan Elementary, but robotics is in, and, by all accounts, is nothing short of way cool.
Word got out of the science goings-on at the 200 Padan School Road and, Wednesday, some 75 parents and community members showed up for an open house to highlight the school’s summer school robotics program, Jennifer Leonard, the public information officer for Vacaville Unified, wrote in a press release.
Guests were invited to tour “city landscapes” on monitors designed and created by the upper-grade elementary students who then programmed robots to independently navigate the cityscapes.
