STEM Adventures:
Bringing K-12 Students to Research Labs and Facilities
Mineola High School
Mineola High School’s robotics and computer science classes visited the R&D Park at Stony Brook University on April 11, 2024. Led by teachers Kuri DeFede and Andrew Woolsey, 25 students first toured the combustion, battery, and hydrogen labs at the Advanced Energy Center before heading to CEWIT to experience the Reality Deck and AI-powered robotics with Sunrise Technologies.
As many students were part of Mineola’s competitive robotics team, there was particular
interest in both the combustion lab and the AI programming. Upon completion of the
tour, the students had lunch sponsored by Joe Ambrosio of Unique Electric Solutions.
