Robotics Clubs Do Their Part During Pandemic Members of Hicksville Middle School and Hicksville High School robotics clubs, under the direction of adviser Catherine Temps, and with support from the Hicksville JBirds Team 1468 Booster Club, used their drive and determination to help others during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using their own devices, students from both school clubs (including former club members and former students) produced personal protective equipment and assembled snack bags. To date, the clubs together created 600 face shields and assembled 953 snack bags, which they have delivered to 15 nursing homes, hospitals, fire rescue units and food pantries throughout Nassau and Suffolk counties. The Booster Club collected funds to purchase the contents of the snack bags. See the rest of the story on pages 20-21.
