Amid a plethora of updates at last week’s meeting of the Benicia Unified School District Board of Trustees, one item caught everybody’s attention.
Robots.
June Regis, district coordinator of Child Care Programs & Adult Education, introduced guest speaker Carl Edwards, Benicia parent and director of device engineering for Pandora Radio.
Edwards also serves as parent mentor for the robotics portion of the STEM — Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics — after-school program that launches Wednesday at Benicia Middle School.
