On April 12, 2019, nearly 30  middle-school students and their chaperones from Promise Christian Academy (PCA), a school based in Queens, NY, came to Stony Brook University to learn about robotics and to explore the campus.

Members from the Stony Brook Robotics Team (SBRT) presented to the students about their club and their role at the University.

After learning about the various fields of engineering and science that are required to effectively build a robot, the students participated in an interactive electrical engineering activity.

“I enjoyed making the circuit the most because I always wanted to create something. I will be in a robotics team in high school so that was a good introduction,” said eighth grader Karen Abigail.

The students then took a brief tour of the campus as they headed to East Side Dining. Following lunch, the group visited the Charles B. Wang Center to view the exhibit, “The Studio: Through a Surrealistic Lens.”

 Volunteers from the SBRT included Software Team Lead and President-elect Prangon Ghose, a sophomore studying Computer Engineering; Electrical Team Lead-elect Lily Li, a freshman studying Computer Engineering; Member Adama Gamby, a sophomore studying Electrical Engineering and Mathematics; and Member Dorothy Lee, a freshman studying Electrical Engineering.
