Family Day at RACOM

Opening our doors to those who matter most
At the end of March, we welcomed the families and friends of our employees to both of our RACOM facilities in Nové Město na Moravě.
We opened our doors to children, partners, parents (often even grandparents) who came to see where their loved ones work and what exactly they do. And this was no ordinary tour.

Each visitor received a map guiding them through 25 stations spread across the company. At every stop, they learned something interesting about the specific tasks and technologies used daily at RACOM. There was even a fun quiz – correct answers revealed a hidden message that led to a sweet reward at the finish line.

We didn’t just show off our usual workspaces and secret corners, but most importantly we gave everyone a chance to try things hands-on.

Children (and often their parents) tried out:

• screwing components together
• soldering
• assembling boxes
• stamping
• mounting units on poles
• became «packets» running through a network
• and even experienced firsthand the freezing temperatures our equipment has to withstand in the climatic chamber

The experience was so intense that some of the youngest guests fell asleep before reaching the final stop 🙂

Sweet treats and souvenirs
We wrapped up the day with some homemade refreshments, lovingly baked by our talented colleagues.
The biggest hit? Gingerbread bats – all 250 pieces were gone in a flash!

Kids took home not only a bunch of memories, but also souvenirs made right before their eyes:

• whistles printed on a 3D printer
• keychains engraved with their names by a CNC machine
• and, of course, the bat that guided them along the entire route

Sharing pride in our work
A huge thanks goes to all our colleagues who helped with smiles on their faces – holding screwdrivers, adjusting microscopes, helping to fold origami bats, answering countless questions and most importantly, proudly showcasing what we create at RACOM every day.

It was a wonderful reminder that the work we do really matters. And even more beautiful was seeing how excited we were to share it with those closest to us.

Big thanks to our HR colleagues for the fantastic organization and together with the 80 children who joined the event, we’re already looking forward to what they come up with next!
