Live videos of the graduates were projected on the robots’ heads as their names were called for their diplomas. The high school graduates watched the ceremony from home through Facebook Live.
The city held its first virtual graduation on Friday for the 179 graduates of Senator Renato “Compañero” Cayetano Memorial Science and Technology High School . The ceremony made use of toga-wearing robots that were made by the school’s Taguig Robotics Team. The team developed four remote-controlled robots made from recycled materials.
