CEDAR FALLS — Shrieks of preschool children filled the air at Cedar Heights Elementary School as they slapped colored mats on the ground, trying to create a race track for their car to drive on.The car could read the color and perform a corresponding action – a yellow mat meant 'keep driving.' Chaos ensued as one child attempted to hoard the green mats, which signaled the car to start driving. The car bots drove all over the classroom floor as the kids tried to remember – was it orange that meant left turn, or blue?A group of teachers observed the children Thursday.
