It’s that time of the year…. our Robotics season has come to a close.  But there is no reason to be sad, because Girl Scouts of Nassau County gets to celebrate the amazing accomplishments of our Robotics Teams and look towards the future of Robotics in Nassau County.  We have the opportunity to share the world of STEM with many new faces and young minds.
