REDLANDS – Robots hooked up to computers were dancing and singing to music. Students in crisp white lab coats created faces out of clay, ran laser cutters and a vacuum former, painted a canvas with an airbrush and hunched over a sewing machine.
Welcome to the new Garner Holt AniMakerspace brought to Franklin Elementary School by the world’s largest supplier of robotic figures to theme parks.
At the grand opening event on Monday, Oct. 22, students who had been learning in the space for a few days shared how to operate the myriad of devices that filled the room.
