Three U.S. Army members – Staff Sgt. Alfred Simeone, an alumnus of East Islip’s Class of 2002; Staff Sgt. Matthew Petiprin; and Staff Sgt. Sawyer Taro – visited East Islip High School’s robotics and video production/broadcast television classes on Nov. 23. The sergeants discussed their experiences in the military, including Army robotics programs and drone technology. The presentation helped students in these courses make connections to several real-world applications of what they are currently learning in their respective technology courses.
