West Islip Robotics Participates in Senator Boyle's Beach Cleanup

The West Islip Robotics Team participated in New York State Senator Boyle’s Beach Cleanup on September 17, 2016. This was the fourth year that Senator Boyle has hosted the event as part of the International Coastal Cleanup, a global effort in which more than 100 countries participate. Our beaches are such a cherished part of Long Island living and ocean trash is a serious problem that affects ocean life and local economies. The team met at Robert Moses and spent two hours removing plastic, cigarettes and other trash from the beach. The West Islip Robotics Team recognizes the importance and beauty of our local beaches and was proud to participate in Senator Boyle’s beach cleanup and be part of the International Coastal Cleanup. Look for the team next weekend at the West Islip Country Fair. In addition to helping the fair committee set up and clean up for this beloved town event, the team will have their own exhibition. A robot will be available for people to operate and robotics members will be on hand to discuss the benefits of being part of the team.
