On August 9, 2017, the Journalism and Publishing class was blessed to be shown DJ Roomba. The flat, circular robot with a speaker connected to an iPod on top was being directed down the hallways of Duffy blasting upbeat tunes was created by Dominic Hryzan from PCC’s Real Robot’s class. Mr. Kaliff opened the door to our classroom and Dominic, with a remote control with a long antenna, drove it in. After visiting Journalism, Dominic and the Real Robots class moved on down the hall to share the inventive robot and its music with other classes here in Duffy. DJ Roomba is a hilariously brilliant idea! Thank you, Dominic!
