Two Penn State New Kensington seniors are preparing their pitch as a finalist team in the upcoming Penn State Inc.U entrepreneurship competition. While learning some skills from the business realm has become important these past few months as they prepare, it has been their full-time major, electro-mechanical engineering technology, and the campus itself that has provided the foundation for their current and future success.
Shane Molyneau, sophomore centerfielder for New Kensington, and Jim Perry, coach of the Penn State New Kensington baseball team, help clear out a Florida home damaged by Hurricane Irma in Sept. 2017. Molyneaux and Perry were joined by other members of New Kensington's baseball team on March 8 to aid resident Dwight Popovic who had been living at a hotel since the storm. Work done by the team during their spring break trip made it possible for contactors to begin drywall work on the home.
Tyler Kline, junior pitcher from Penn State New Kensington, speaks to Dwight Popovic of Ft. Myers, Florida. Popovic's home was ravaged by Hurricane Irma in Sept. 2017. Kline and members of the New Kensington baseball team assisted Popovic in clearing debris from his home during their spring training trip so that contractors could begin drywall work.

On March 8, the team spent their downtime helping clear Popovic's home so that contractors could begin drywall work.
Olivia Sribniak and Anthony Gyke, senior electro-mechanical engineering students at Penn State New Kensington, turned their EMET senior design project into a startup business. The duo created an automated roping dummy robot, formally called "Steer Logic." The concept has earned them a finalist spot in the 2018 Penn State Inc.U competition where they will pitch Steer Logic for a chance at investment funding.
