We had a wonderful time yesterday surprising our soon-to-be alumni with a car parade! We got to visit Carolina Vergara (University of Houston), the Luera Twins (MIT), Homero Gonzalez (UTRGV), and Andrew Kingston (Texas A&M Kingsville). We’re going to miss them all, but we hope to see them when we can! We also had help from our alumni Joshua Billman and Cougar Stiles! #teamworm #firstrgv #firstalumni2020 #seniors #robotics ...

Thanks for the most amazing Robotics Coach ever! We're sad to see you retire Mrs. Rod! You were the first #robotics coach in all of South Texas, and for 18 amazing years you have been the coach for ULTIMATE ROBOTICS. You've helped out us with so many competitions, and thanks for all the competitions you've helped us with. You've brought more than 5 Robotics Teams to the FIRST ROBOTICS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS, multiple teams to the BEST Robotics National Championships, Countless teams to various Robotics State Championships, and to multiple local and regional competitions. Thank You for all your help! firstrgv firstintexas frc7521 bestrobotics uetmrobotics #frc #firstrgv #firstrobotics #firstroboticscompetition #ftc #bestrobotics #texasbest #sabest ...

Although we didn't advance, it was honor to make new friends with teams and have the opportunity to creat school history. For the first time we brouhgt our school our first wver Inspire and Promote Award, even being able to reach semi-finals. With all our efforts we enjoyed how much fun we had with new team mates and experiences with the end to our 2019-2020 Skystone Season. In the end, the importance thing is, we had fun, and that's all that really matters.

"Some 80 percent of the world's wastewater is dumped—largely untreated—back into the environment, polluting rivers, lakes, and oceans.

This widespread problem of water pollution is jeopardizing our health. Unsafe water kills more people each year than war and all other forms of violence combined. Meanwhile, our drinkable water sources are finite: Less than 1 percent of the earth’s freshwater is actually accessible to us. Without action, the challenges will only increase by 2050, when global demand for freshwater is expected to one third-greater than it is now."- www.nrdc.com

Photo credit: history

Whether it be through lack of diligence or ignorance we all need to care for our ocean and take care of our great blue home. We have to stand as a society to change how we react to untreated water. Do what you can by being careful what you flush down the toilet and throw the proper trash away where it belongs.

We are taking this initiative as apart of eco.first and eco.first.tx to show that WE CARE.💚🌿

"Our personal vehicles are a major cause of global warming. Collectively, cars and trucks account for nearly one-fifth of all US emissions, emitting around 24 pounds of carbon dioxide and other global-warming gases for every gallon of gas.

About five pounds comes from the extraction, production, and delivery of the fuel, while the great bulk of heat-trapping emissions—more than 19 pounds per gallon—comes right out of a car’s tailpipe.

In total, the US transportation sector—which includes cars, trucks, planes, trains, ships, and freight—produces nearly thirty percent of all US global warming emissions, more than almost any other sector."- https://www.ucsusa.org/resources/car-emissions-global-warming

We all rely on the use of cars to help us transport easier, but we should try on relying on other methods as well. Whether it be biking, jogging, running, or car pooling even. The little things matter for us to help our 🌎. As apart of eco.first we wanted to take this challenge to acknowledge air pollution and do what we can to spread awareness.

Case for using FIRST in the classroom

FIRST® has many stories of how it has inspired its members in STEM. Recently I attended the FIRST® World Championships in Detroit and met many of these kids.

The post Case for using FIRST in the classroom appeared first on . [...]
