The CADemy is run by a group of high school students who are members of a Syosset robotics team. This team, Syosset ELITE, takes part in First Tech Challenge Robotics and is based out of the Robotics Program at Syosset High School. We reach out to younger audiences throughout the year to expose them to STEM and robotics.
