Massapequa senior participates in Seidenberg Scholars Experience
The students were divided into teams and were assigned two challenges each, which involved alternative energies and renewable resources. Using LEGO robotics computing tools, each team developed workable solutions involving solar energy and wind power. The teams worked on their projects collaboratively in three-hour sessions called "design sprints." When not working on their projects, the students enjoyed much of what New York City has to offer. A few of their highlights were seeing an off-Broadway play, a harbor cruise, a visit to IBM and the Museum of Natural History. The students met with Ivan Seidenberg, the CEO of Verizon, who has given Pace an endowment for its computer science program.
