Stony Brook University  and Suffolk County Girl Scout Troops of America hosted a group of 60  scouts, ages 9 to 11, on April 18 for the Girl Scouts Discover STEM event.

The Girl Scouts earned their Entertainment Technology badge by creating an animated doodle flip book, making 3D glasses, and building a model roller coaster to evaluate speed and science.

The Girl Scouts also made an interactive video game and created a ringtone. A campus tour of Stony Brook University’s Innovation Lab provided an opportunity for the group to watch 3D printing demonstrations.

The event is one of many that support Stony Brook University President Samuel L. Stanley’s continued effort to increase diversity in the STEM pipeline.

Volunteers from the Society of Women Engineers, the Department of Computer Science at Stony Brook, Women in Computer Science, Women in Science and Engineering, Theta Tau, Alpha Omega Epsilon and Morgan Stanley all came together to create the event.
