Battelle Donates Funds to the Miller Place Robotics Club for a Welding Machine

June 30, 2004

Upton, NY - Students from the Miller Place School District's robotics club visited the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory to present a plaque to Battelle in recognition of its "exemplary corporate citizenship." Battelle, an Ohio-based corporation that partners with Stony Brook University to manage Brookhaven Lab through Brookhaven Science Associates, gave the robotics team a donation to purchase a new welding machine. The machine will be used by the team for various technology projects, including the FIRST Robotics Competition, a multinational competition that teams professionals and students to solve an engineering design problem.

Miller Place School District technology teachers Patrick Hughes (back, right of center) and Paul Siller (far left) accompanied the students at Brookhaven. The group toured three research facilities at the Laboratory: the National Synchrotron Light Source, the PHENIX detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, and the Radiation Detector Testing and Evaluation Facility. They also met with Laboratory Director Praveen Chaudhari who spoke to them about the science frontiers explored at Brookhaven and the future of robotics-related technologies.
