The Sentinels Graciously Accept The George Subraj Family Foundation Sponsorship The robotics students at Benjamin N. Cardozo High School in Bayside, New York have received a significant donation from a local philanthropist as it prepares to compete in global competitions this year.

Without a doubt, 5599 was able to pass on some inspiration and insight into the world of STEM and Robotics.
